Hi!

Reading: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-features/ "IBMDB2I. Oracle removed this in MySQL 5.1.55 but we have kept the code in MariaDB until the version 5.5."

I'm not so sure. I looked for this engine in a 5.5.25 tarball in storage/ and didn't see it.

It is in 5.3 tree trunk, but not 5.5

Is this an oversight? Or have we decided to remove the engine?

Removed, during the merge, I suppose. It was a dead code. If we'll ever need to restore it, we can always copy it from 5.3 again. Besides, as far as I understand, "until the version 5.5" does not neassarily mean "up to and including the version 5.5". Thus, we've kept IBMDB2I "until the version 5.5", indeed. Regards, Sergei
