Poking around on the internet, I found this link
http://www.easycom-aura.com/en/iStorage.asp. It appears to be a
commercial MySQL storage engine to DB2-400.

MySQL has a published open storage engine interface. DB2 (including
DB2-400) is a DRDA server and DRDA is a published interface. So it
should be possible for anyone to build a storage engine for MySQL over
the DRDA interface.

The Aura product appears to work with V5R1 and up.

I can't vouch for the product. I just found it by searching "MySQL DB2"
and reading a few blogs.

Migrating one database to the other shouldn't be difficult. MySQL
Administrator Backup writes a long script with a series of Creates and
Inserts that you can run as a script on your System i. (I use Ops Nav to
run the scripts.) You may have to massage the scripts a bit to get the
names right, but that's simple with any text editor that will handle
find/replace very long text files.

Dan,

This question was asked on the iSociety Fireside Chat with Ross Mauri on
Tuesday. The answer was first quarter 2009.


Thanks. Does anyone know if it will be PTF'd for V5R4, or only run on
V6R1?

Will there be an easy way to migrate an existing MySQL database to the
DB2 storage engine?
