Re: MySQL and DB2 storage engine for IBM i

I can't agree with you, Jon. I don't think this has anything to do with support contracts or money. It's simply an indication that the download statistics of the IBM i binary of MySQL site are weak.

And that makes perfect sense... how many people here on this list have downloaded MySQL from MySQL's web site? Most folks installing MySQL are doing it through Zend's installer.

I think Scott's comment is accurate if modified to say "Nobody is
_paying_ to use this tool." I suspect that the problem is two-fold.
First folks are using the Community Edition and not paying for
service. Second that Oracle are pulling support from every platform
considered a competitor to its new empire. Or rather to those
platforms that are a threat and don't represent a sufficient revenue
stream to counter that.
