Thanks Mike.  
 
Already read this one when I was looking for overview materials and it
ultimately points back to the Redbook J
 
This article is a great overview article but also doesn't address my
specific question, nor does the Redbook. 
 
As I mentioned, I have MySQL 64-bit V5.1.42 working but was just having
a hard time registering the ibmdb2i functionality because the plugin is
missing if you install 64-bit MySQL. 
 
It's not even in the TAR file.  Doh !!    MySQL build oversite or by
design ?
 
I installed the 32-bit MySQL V5.1.42 engine and it now works just fine,
but that's a major inconsistency from the Redbook or any of the other
articles I found online. 
 
So my question stands: 
Should the 64-bit MySQL version support the ibmdb2i engine functionality
?  If so, where's the plugin ?
 
It works fine with the 32-bit MySQL engine which is total opposite of
what the Redbook recommends. 
 
Anyone else using the ibmdb2i functionality ?
