You can plug in DB2/400 as a storage engine for MySQL using a commercial package from http://www.easycom-aura.com/en/iStorage.asp

IBM has not yet announced the release of a storage engine (yet?)… notive that in the redbook there is an explicit warning that IBM may withdraw their announcements without notification.

Tony and Al, Looks like there is a new Redbook to be published on the topic. Watch this space: Discovering MySQL on i5/OS.

Hi Brian,

The original press releases were pretty vague about a release date, but I’m certain about it being a go. IBM is very eager to support the AMP stack on System i.

I have not heard anything more about this and IBM is not listed on MySQL’s storage engine site. Has this become a “no-go?”

Not to mention the result in database management simplification: all i5/OS data file commands can be used to maintain the data files of the MySQL databases:
RGZPFM
Performance analysis of the SQL Plan Cache
Backup/restore capabilities of System i
Object integrity robustness of System i
