Re: Why use MySQL on the i when you have DB2?

Trevor,

Have you checked out CodeIgniter? They have a pretty nice DB
abstraction layer, and I believe people have gotten it working with
DB2 on the i.

And there is a way to change PHP to use DB2 directly. We build two different
include files - one with all the DB2 functions, and one with the MySQL
functions. It took us some design and planning, but we now have that process
built. We use the MySQL function to demo our i PHP applications offline and
running on our laptops, by switching the include file.
