Re: Maria vs. DB2 performance on IBM i

Yes default, which I believe is innodb.

I've never heard of a "native" storage engine for MariaDB. Do you mean the
"default" storage engine, which is supposedly
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/innodb/? Actually, I'm not sure what the default
storage engine is for PHP on IBM i. The phpMyAdmin dialog for creating
tables has a drop-down list of about eight possible storage engine options.

exactly what I'm asking. Yes, I would ordinarily agree with you but,
is it worth the extra work to move the data?

I am trying to decide with a newer web site if it's worth moving the
data into DB2 vs. leaving it in Maria.

When you say "leaving it in Maria", what storage engine are you
referring to (i.e. MyISAM, InnoDB, CSV)? My intuition says that using
the IBMDB2i storage engine would perform better than a storage engine
that referenced a bulk IFS file. But I haven't seen any benchmarks to
prove it.
