If I were you I'd use a much lighter db server that will run on 98 and yet still give you the basics of an RDBMS. I can think of Firebird for example which will AFAIK run on 98, although it's not recommended for production environments 8-).
You could also try PostgreSQL which may run on 98.
How much RAM do you have on this 98 machine?
Have you considered installing Linux/FreeBSD?
