I doubt that AS/400 types would argue that *replacing* db2 with mysql
would be a good thing, but there are probably more than just me who
believe that mysql is a good thing.  Personally, I want RPG's standard I/O
(chain, read, setll, etc.) with mysql's API.  IOW, when programming in RPG
using SQL dump the cumbersome embedded SQL stuff and do things the MySQL
way.
