IMO, it would be better to use DB2 for i instead of mySQL.

I agree with you David but this was an internal (as in me) wiki that I
wanted to get running with the least amount of tweaking. I remember it
being simple enough that I didn't take any notes. If I were making this
a production wiki, I'd definitely switch it to DB2. Not the least
reason is that I'm way more familiar with DB2 SQL syntax!
