mSQL

Introduction

Mini SQL, or mSQL, is a lightweight database engine designed to provide fast access to stored data with low memory requirements. Although mSQL only supports a subset of SQL (no views, sub-queries etc.), everything it supports is in accordance with the ANSI SQL specification. The mSQL package includes the database engine, a terminal "monitor" program, a database administration program, a schema viewer, and a C language API. The API and the database engine have been designed to work in a client/server environment over a TCP/IP network.
