An IBM Business Partner switches off of MySQL to go with DB2?  Are they 
paying to be an IBM Business Partner?  It seems like they're paying a 
lot in fees for a 300 course database with related child tables.  Heck, 
I would think Access could handle that load.

    "By converting to IBM DB2 9, Makau saved about $75,000 in MySQL and 
Windows server licensing fees"

I understand the savings on Windows Server licensing, but MySQL?!?  I'm 
not getting the whole picture here.
