Anyone used DB2 Field Procedures yet? All the examples I've seen

if the procedures are really limited to that scope.

I've only used them in the context of adding support for field procs to Implementer, but from what I've read about them they are intended for things like data security.

Technically they could be used for anything that you would want data to be manipulated at the row/column level, but I can't really think of anything like that other than encryption.
