Another entry into the no-to-low cost database arena is MySQL, a SQL (Structured Query Language) client/server relational database management system originating from Scandinavia. MySQL includes a SQL server, client programs for accessing the server, administrative tools, and a programming interface for writing your own programs.
MySQL's roots began in 1979, with the UNIREG database tool created by Michael "Monty" Widenius for the Swedish company TcX. In 1994, TcX began looking around for a SQL server for use in developing Web applications. They tested some commercial servers, but found all too slow for TcX's large tables. They also took a look at mSQL, but it lacked certain features TcX required. Consequently, Monty began developing a new server. The programming interface was designed explicitly to be similar to the one used by mSQL because several free tools were available for mSQL; by using a similar interface, those same tools could be used for MySQL with a minimum of porting effort.
In 1995, David Axmark of Detron HB began to push for TcX to release MySQL on the Internet. David also worked on the documentation and on getting MySQL to build with the GNU configure utility. MySQL 3.11.1 was unleashed on the world in 1996 in the form of binary distributions for Linux and Solaris. Today, MySQL works on many more platforms and is available in both binary and source form. The company MySQL AB has been formed to provide distributions of MySQL and to offer support and training services.
