This is the Debian Linux prepackaged version of the mini SQL package
written and maintained by David J. Hughes (Bambi@Hughes.com.au).
This package was put together by Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org>,
from sources obtained from:
Bond.edu.au:/pub/Minerva/msql/msql2/msql-2.0.3.tar.gz
Bond.edu.au:/pub/Minerva/msql/faq.txt
Bond.edu.au:/pub/Minerva/msql/faq.html
ftp.infodrom.north.de:/pub/mirror/msql/Patches/ident-1.0.14
ftp.infodrom.north.de:/pub/mirror/msql/Patches/msqldump-1.0.16
Version 1.0.16 were built with additional patches that still may be
needed with mSQL 2.x
ftp.infodrom.north.de:/pub/mirror/msql/Patches/update-1.0.9
ftp.infodrom.north.de:/pub/mirror/msql/Patches/update-1.0.16 (corrected)
ftp.infodrom.north.de:/pub/mirror/msql/Patches/lost-table-1.0.16
This package consists of four binary packages:
libmsql1 contains the (shared) library and include file
all other packages do depend on this
msqld contains the database itself, one program to maintain the engine
and some files that must exist on the database server
msql contains some database clients
w3-msql contains the w3-msql and lite distribution
Configuring the Mini SQL engine
-------------------------------
All packages contain a set of manual pages, written especially for
Debian Linux, read them carefully and report errors.
The package `msqld' contains a script msqlconfig, please read the
manpages (esp. msql.acl(5)) carefully and use this script to configure
the engine.
Mailing list for mSQL
---------------------
There is a mailing list on with all topics concering mSQL and its
tools are discussed. The lists address is msql-list@bunyip.com.
To subscribe to the list, send mail to
listproc@bunyip.com
with one line in the message body:
subscribe msql-list Your Name
Programming
-----------
I have included manual pages for all API functions and included programs.
Look at /usr/doc/msql/mSQL-1.0.11.ps.gz for a description of the engine
and API. Some simple examples in programming with the API can be found on
ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de:/pub/doc/IN/GS/software/unix/msql/queries.tar.gz
Still some work is needed for the manpages. Unfortunately David
Hughes hasn't included any of them in his release nor supports them.
They are completely distributed under the GPL so they need a differend
distribution but ... they should be kept up-to-date. Any volunteers?
Please contact me at joey@debian.org.
