I agree that mySQL has nice features for web 
page development purposes, but the last time I 
checked, mySQL didn't have database triggers nor 
stored procedures.  I believe the next version 
(4.1) just added support for subqueries 
(subselects).

Different databases are optimized for different 
purposes.  It's one thing to use a database to 
serve stateless web pages... it's another to 
guarantee that data is consistent and 
recoverable in an interactive environment.

But mySQL is constantly improving... maybe it 
has jumped these hurdles already.

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.
