Re: MySQL and DB2 storage engine for IBM i

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The way I read it, support is dropped period, Blake's original post
had the following text:
"Note
The IBMDB2I storage engine was introduced in MySQL 5.1.33 and
considered GA in MySQL 5.1.35. It was removed in MySQL 5.1.54."

found here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/se-db2.html

In addition, there's no reference to the IBMDB2I storage engine in the
MySQL 5.5 docs:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/storage-engines.html

That's very disappointing....I had hope to make use of it at some point.
