<para>
For the effort to make a shareware SQL database. At TcX, the
predecessor of MySQL AB, we started with
<literal>mSQL</literal>, but found that it couldn't satisfy
our purposes so instead we wrote an SQL interface to our
application builder Unireg. <command>mysqladmin</command> and
<command>mysql</command> client are programs that were largely
influenced by their <literal>mSQL</literal> counterparts. We
have put a lot of effort into making the MySQL syntax a
superset of <literal>mSQL</literal>. Many of the API's ideas
are borrowed from <literal>mSQL</literal> to make it easy to
port free <literal>mSQL</literal> programs to the MySQL API.
The MySQL software doesn't contain any code from
<literal>mSQL</literal>. Two files in the distribution
(<filename>client/insert_test.c</filename> and
<filename>client/select_test.c</filename>) are based on the
corresponding (non-copyrighted) files in the
<literal>mSQL</literal> distribution, but are modified as
examples showing the changes necessary to convert code from
<literal>mSQL</literal> to MySQL Server.
(<literal>mSQL</literal> is copyrighted David J. Hughes.)

system which provided much of the architecturial foundations
for NDB Cluster with blocks, signals and crash tracing
functionality. Also credit should be given to those who
believed in the ideas enough to allocate of their budgets for
its development from 1992 to present time.

<para>
This appendix lists all the environment variables that are used
directly or indirectly by MySQL. Most of these can also be found in
other places in this manual.
</para>
<para>
Note that any options on the command line take precedence over
values specified in option files and environment variables, and
values in option files take precedence over values in environment
variables.
</para>
<para>
In many cases, it's preferable to use an option file instead of
environment variables to modify the behavior of MySQL. See
<xref linkend="option-files"/>.
