The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Real simple Dave - and nothing to do with "me too".
Most of the really good PHP applications (and for that matter the bad
ones) use MySQL. As does most anything written for the LAMP stack. If
the software is available with a DB2 option (which some like MANTIS
do) then it is not an issue. But having to manually modify (say)
SugarCRM to move it from MySQL to DB2 would somewhat nullify the
attractiveness of such solutions.
So step 1 was to implement MySQL in PASE. That was great and got
round that hurdle - but other than ODBC etc. it meant that you could
not code RPG/CL/COBOL etc. to write reports from the underlying DB.
By implementing a DB2 storage engine we get the best of both worlds -
including our normal RPG native access, embedded SQL access, _and_
anything we want to do with MySQL itself from within PASE apps such as
those written in PHP, Python, Java, etc.
Sounds a great deal to me!
