Got it.

I wouldn't be afraid of running MySQL native on i.

However if you're running MySQL it runs well on Linux or Windows as well.

Most IBMi shops today have a mix of servers running as VMware images on Windows or Linux.

Richard,

I have no specific use case for MySQL, i just used it as an example in my generic question.

I believe the integrated file system (IFS) might be a little slower,

Our biggest issue was always the limitation of object ownership. A
single user profile used to be limited to ~1million objects they could
own (Not sure if this is still true.). This wreaked havoc for large
document management shops. We had one customer who had to create a new
object owner every month because of this limitation. Moved docs to SAN
and problem went away (But that's another story...).

I have not used MySQL in production on IBMi, but I've played with it a bit.

You can use all the standard MySQL engine mechanisms to store your
database in the IFS. Or if you want to be able to share data between
RPG/CL/Cobol apps and PHP/Node/Etc you can turn on the storage engine
that lets you store your data in DB2 but access it also as native MySQL tables.

The real question would be what is your use case and what apps do you
want to run ?
