Contributors to MySQL
=====================
Contributors to the MySQL distribution are listed here, in somewhat
random order:
Paul DuBois
Help with making the Reference Manual correct and understandable.
That includes rewriting Monty's and David's attempts at English
into English as other people know it.
Gianmassimo Vigazzola <qwerg@mbox.vol.it> or <qwerg@tin.it>
The initial port to Win32/NT.
Kim Aldale
Helped to rewrite Monty's and David's early attempts at English
into English.
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. We at TcX started
with `mSQL', but found that it couldn't satisfy our purposes so
instead we wrote a SQL interface to our application builder
Unireg. `mysqladmin' and `mysql' 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 MySQL. MySQL 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. (`mSQL' is copyrighted David J. Hughes.)
Fred Fish
For his excellent C debugging and trace library. Monty has made a
number of smaller improvements to the library (speed and
additional options).
Richard A. O'Keefe
For his public domain string library.
Henry Spencer
For his regex library, used in `WHERE column REGEXP regexp'.
Free Software Foundation
From whom we got an excellent compiler (`gcc'), the `libc' library
(from which we have borrowed `strto.c' to get some code working in
Linux), and the `readline' library (for the `mysql' client).
