Introducing MaxSQL, the Open Source, Fully Transactional Relational Database
Engine; MySQL AB and Sleepycat Software Inc. Team Up to Create New Product
HELSINKI, Finland & CARLISLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2000--
MySQL AB and Sleepycat Software Inc. today announced the release of
MaxSQL, a new Open Source, high-performance and fully transactional
SQL server.
MaxSQL, developed jointly by the two companies, combines the
industry-standard interface of MySQL's data access language with the
high-performance transaction services of Sleepycat's Berkeley DB.
MaxSQL is available immediately via download at no charge from
www.maxsql.com.
MaxSQL is the first Open Source relational database engine to offer
the reliability, scalability and performance that commercial users
demand. The software provides the ability to perform transactions with
full recoverability for committed changes. It manages databases up to
256 terabytes in size, accommodates many concurrent users and survives
power failure or system crashes without losing data. Those features,
combined with MySQL's enormous popularity, make MaxSQL a potent threat
in the SQL marketplace.
"We're very excited about MaxSQL," said Brett Error, Chief Technology
Officer at MyComputer.com. "We've used MySQL for years to deliver
services over the Web, but we've wanted transactions and
high-concurrency access for quite a while. This new product offers all
the features of the relational engines from the big commercial
vendors, with much lower maintenance cost and no up-front license
fee."
MaxSQL, by combining the SQL services of MySQL with the data
management services of Berkeley DB, provides the ideal product that
many customers have been looking for.
"We've been very successful with MySQL," said David Axmark, CEO of
MySQL AB, an affiliate of the O'Reilly Network. "At the same time, our
users have been pressing us to add transaction support and
recoverability to our software. We knew that building a
high-performance transaction engine would be a difficult undertaking,
so we decided to look for a partner. But we needed a partner that was
as committed to Open Source software as we are."
"This is a perfect match," agreed Keith Bostic, Sleepycat Software's
CEO. "As an embedded database product, Berkeley DB provides scalable,
reliable transaction services in a library that's easy for software
developers to use in applications. We have customers who need SQL
services, but building an SQL engine ourselves wasn't practical. With
the release of MaxSQL, we've got a better solution than either of us
could have provided alone."
The full source code for MaxSQL is available for download at
www.maxsql.com. MaxSQL runs on virtually every popular operating
system platform available today, including Windows 95/98/NT, most Unix
variants and Linux. The software is distributed under the GNU Public
License (GPL), and so is available for use at no charge.

I think it is more of a fixing the table locking problems and
using the berkley db with be a selling point for .23 code

Seems mysql.com updated a little while ago:
http://www.mysql.com/news/article-28.html
MaxSQL announced
2000/08/10
MaxSQL is a MySQL distribution compiled with Sleepycat software's
BerkeleyDB support for transactions.
MaxSQL will be released under the GNU GPL licence as soon as BerkelyDB
transactional tables are sufficiently stable and functional
to pass our test suite. The release is scheduled to the end of August.
Users can evaluate the current state of our transactional code by
installing the lastest 3.1 version of BerkeleyDB
available from Sleepycat, and then compiling MySQL on their systems with a
special option (--with-berkeley-db). More
information on MaxSQL will be released on this site later.
