Matt,

I'm sorry I was not clear.
The file we could not delete was not a database table but a MYSQL system file, a .PID file that MYSQL needed to create when it started up.
We tried to get it to create a .PID file with another name, but got a different error. It appears that MYSQL wants its 'stuff' exactly where it wants it to be with exactly the name it wants to call it.

The table we were trying to modify was created with the MYISAM engine,
not the IBMDB2I engine.

Interesting. I assume that means the file lock issue is only a problem
when using something other than the IBMDB2I? Another reason to stick with
IBMDB2I I suppose.
