This is not what I meant.
I have a mysql DB running. I have a remote informix DB running.
I have DBI/DBD informix/mysql all setup and working.
I can access the remote informix database through perl scripts.
BUT what I want is my scripts to ONLY access the mysql DB, but to
somehow get the mysql DB to go to the remote informix DB and get data
out of tables there and return it through mysql, so that the process
accessing the data 'thinks' the data has come from mysql.
Is this possible?
