Deploy open-source applications on IBM i without having to change the source code.
 Written by Erwin Earley
Those readers who have dabbled in open-source technologies may already be aware of the availability of the MySQL open-source database server on IBM i. In this article, I'll explore why MySQL is available on i, how you can take advantage of it, and how you can use MySQL's abstraction technology to store your open-source application data in DB2 tables.

With Oracle announcing end of life for IBM i distributions of MySQL, I'll discuss the potential for alternatives of MySQL on the i.
 Written by Tom Snyder
Oracle has decided to no longer support MySQL on the IBM i, and I for one am very disappointed in this recent announcement. When I first heard that you could run MySQL on the IBM i, I initially thought to myself, "Why would I want to use the MySQL database when I have DB2?" In this article, I intend to tell you why you would want to and why it's such a loss that Oracle will no longer be providing IBM i binaries. I'll also explain some of the options that we have without it.

DB2 is the only database many of us have ever known. This article shows you how you can broaden your database options.  By Joe Pluta If you're an i programmer, you've been using DB2 from the beginning of your career (unless, of course, you started like me back in the cave computer days of the System/3). You didn't know you were using DB2; in fact, you didn't know that your database had a name, and you didn't care because it just worked. That in fact was one of the great selling points of the platform: the integrated database and by extension the nearly bare-metal speed of compiled languages like RPG, which could take advantage of that database. Nowadays, though, a single standalone database like DB2 for the i isn't enough for many shops. Commercial databases like SQL Server and Oracle have found their way into many shops. A more recent phenomenon is the appearance of databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, especially as components of open-source packages. |
