Pete,

Is mySQL native port to System i or running in some sort of environment
(i.e. PASE, Linux LPAR etc.)?
And how does performance compare against wintel?

Just curious.

Steve,

I use it for several of my web applications. Some are PHP, some are
Java Servlets. All run on my System i, as does MySQL. The primary
reason for that is that the PHP apps require the MySQL DB (no direct
support at the time for DB2) and, since I got comfortable using the
MySQL, I stuck with it. I also have it on my development machine
(laptop) so I can work while traveling. I also have DB2, MS SQL, and
Derby on my laptop but I usually opt for MySQL.

The interest in MySQL by IBM might be because there are tons of PHP
applications that use MySQL and perhaps they want to leverage those two
on the platform which is where I think you were going as well.
Expanding the SMB market with the 515 might make PHP/MySQL a logical choice.
