Yes, assuming the C and C++ code that MYSQL is written in is portable
enough to compile and run under OS/400.  MySQL creates standard stream
files for it's tables and indexes.  These stream can exist anywhere.

And btw, MySQL has some very nice features which would be great to have on
the iSeries.  Like a great API.  And an AUTOINCREMENT feature which while
non-standard, provides a great method to uniquely key records which just
need an ascending number as the key.
