RE: MySQL on System i

I think you may be in a different market space than some of the rest of us.

I have apps that run WAMP (Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP|Java) and
LAMP(Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP|Java) so I am fairly similar to what you
described - though I haven't done much PHP on the System i5 yet. As Elvis
described this isn't the case so I can now retract my red flag:-)

I am most excited about MySQL running on a PC platform using the
iSeries as

its storage engine.

MAJOR RED FLAG! If I am running enterprise business apps on my
iSeries in PHP I would not want to reach out to another Wintel machine
only to have the DB request come back to the iSeries' DB2 engine.

I think you may be in a different market space than some of the rest of us.
Here, we have a mix of servers, Wintel, Linux and iSeries. It's just how it
is. IT didn't roll out the Linux boxes, but after a while, the people using
them have corporate data on them, stored in MySQL databases. Not a planned
evolution, but it happened nonetheless.

If DB2 can reach out and touch MySQL as though it were a distributed DB2
database, we'd finally be able to integrate those other databases into our
core back end processes.
