MySQL Database Getting Closer Ties to the System i
by Alex Woodie
The System i is about to get a second supported database. This week at the MySQL user conference, IBM and MySQL announced plans for MySQL to offer professional support for the open source database running on i5/OS, and to enable DB2/400 to work as one of the database "engines" that plugs into MySQL. The plan, when completed, has the capability to bring thousands of new Web 2.0 applications to the System i, and loads of DB2/400 data--and business credibility--to the upstart MySQL database platform.

Reader Feedback and Insights
Dear Editor,
"The Russians Are Coming" article dated December 12, 2006 referred to a product named SmartVista coming to the U.S. software marketplace. I want to clarify two points. First, the SmartVista trademark in the U.S. market belongs to SmartVista Technologies, Inc. located in Morrisville, North Carolina. SmartVista Technologies is an IBM business partner and VAR, focused on providing informational kiosk solutions for banking, retail, manufacturing, and government.
Second, BPC executive, Vadim Kravchenkov, has responded in writing that not only does BPC respect the SmartVista Technology trademark rights in the U.S., but also that BPC has not and is not selling their product in the U.S.
