Good question - the DB2 engine on i for mySql was just that - a way to store data defined in mySql in a different way. Postgresql is self-contained, so far as I know. Does it have plugins for storage engines that are similar to what mySql has? If not, there's no reason to go with it. The mySql effort seems related to PHP, et al. The engine made is possible to read mySql data in native programs. Again, no similar purpose exists with any other RDBMS that I'm aware of.

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

the box?
