"The IBM move will mean software applications written for MySQL will run
on the System i machines, but DB2 will still be involved behind the
scenes as the MySQL back-end transactional engine. "
"The two companies will work together to offer the MySQL Server for
i5/OS, the flagship operating system for System i, and plan to deliver
DB2 for i5/OS as a certified MySQL storage engine on the System i
platform. This will allow System i customers to implement online and
transactional MySQL applications while storing all data in a single,
easy-to-manage DB2 database."
"System i customers will be able to run MySQL applications while
continuing to manage their DB2 for i5/OS databases. It will plug into
the MySQL Server and be managed as any other storage engine within the
database server. The DB2 storage engine will provide superior storage
management, transaction support, and database management for MySQL
developers and DBAs -- and enable sharing of data between MySQL and DB2
applications."
