This is probably the last release in the 1.0.x series as it is now very stable and portable. It is known to run properly on over a dozen versions of UNIX including SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, FreeBSD-2, SCO, SVR4, NeXT, Cray Unicos, OSF/1 and Ultrix. mSQL-1.0.5 offers vast performance enhancements over earlier versions of the 1.0.x code. It offers roughly a 20% increase for general query processing. It also includes JOIN optimisation that reduces the processing time for most joins by an order of magnitude or more (one report of a join running on a Cray reduced processing time from 8 minutes to a few seconds!). General Info ------------ Mini SQL (or mSQL) is a light weight database engine that offers a significant subset of ANSI SQL as its query language. It's a small, fast and resource friendly package that doesn't kill machines. It doesn't require vast amounts of memory or enhanced kernel limits to operate. It is quite useable on a PC class machine running BSD or Linux with as little as 8 megs of memory. On an entry level SPARC or similar it's very fast. -- __ David J.
