Re: MySQL and DB2 storage engine for IBM i

[Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen <ravn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

First sentence in this "how to install from source" document is 
"PostgreSQL works on AIX, but getting it installed properly can be 
challenging.".

Sounds like an interesting exercise.

Also, I expect that it is IFS-based and not DB2/400-table based (but I 
do not know how much that helps performancewise for MySQL).

Why would you choose PostgreSQL instead of DB2/400 which works out of 
the box?
