MySQL Reference Manual for version 4.0.18.
B.2 Contributors to MySQL
While MySQL AB
owns all copyrights in the MySQL server
and the MySQL manual
, we wish to recognize those who have made
contributions of one kind or another to the MySQL distribution
.
Contributors are listed here, in somewhat random order:
- Gianmassimo Vigazzola qwerg@mbox.vol.it or qwerg@tin.it
- The initial port to Win32/NT.
- Per Eric Olsson
- For more or less constructive criticism and real testing of the dynamic
record format.
- Irena Pancirov irena@mail.yacc.it
- Win32 port with Borland compiler.
mysqlshutdown.exe
and
mysqlwatch.exe
- David J. Hughes
- For the effort to make a shareware SQL database. At TcX, the predecessor
of MySQL AB, we started with
mSQL
, but found that it couldn't
satisfy our purposes so instead we wrote an SQL interface to our
application builder Unireg. mysqladmin
and mysql
client are
programs that were largely influenced by their mSQL
counterparts.
We have put a lot of effort into making the MySQL syntax a superset of
mSQL
. Many of the API's ideas are borrowed from mSQL
to
make it easy to port free mSQL
programs to the MySQL API.
The MySQL software doesn't contain any code from mSQL
.
Two files in the distribution (`client/insert_test.c' and
`client/select_test.c') are based on the corresponding (non-copyrighted)
files in the mSQL
distribution, but are modified as examples showing
the changes necessary to convert code from mSQL
to MySQL Server.
(mSQL
is copyrighted David J. Hughes.)
