This appendix lists the developers, contributors, and supporters

These are the developers that are or have been employed by MySQL
AB to work on the <code class="literal">MySQL</code> database software,
roughly in the order they started to work with us. Following each
developer is a small list of the tasks that the developer is
responsible for, or the accomplishments they have made. All
developers are involved in support.

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

Previous developers of NDB Cluster
</p><p>
Lots of people were involved in various ways summer students,
master thesis students, employees. In total more than 100
people so too many to mention here. Notable name is Ataullah
Dabaghi who up until 1999 contributed around a third of the
code base. A special thanks also to developers of the AXE
system which provided much of the architectural 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.
