Sorry about that misstatement.  Since I have been looking into MySQL and the
storage engine today, I had actually figured this out for myself.  I
definitely know more than I did this morning (and obviously still learning).
I was looking at the storage engine and MySQL as being the same thing, and
they are definitely two separate things.

I might try that.  I am just getting started with MySQL for IBM i (though
have used it quite a bit in Windows and Linux).  Updating or reinstalling
isn't something I am too concerned about doing at the point, but thanks for
the instructions.  Definitely helps me understand the problem and gives me
some options.
