    52 MySQL Technical Reference for Version 4.0.3 Price Another  important  issue  is  the  license.   MySQL  Server  has  a  more   exible license  than  mSQL,  and  is  also  less  expensive  than  mSQL.   Whichever  product you choose to use, remember to at least consider paying for a license or e-mail support. Perl Interfaces MySQL  Server  has  basically  the  same  interfaces  to  Perl  as  mSQL  with  some added features. JDBC (Java) MySQL Server currently has a lot of di erent JDBC drivers:    The mm driver: a type 4 JDBC driver by Mark Matthews mmatthew@ecn. This is released under the LGPL.    The Resin driver:  this is a commercial JDBC driver released under open source.  http://www.caucho.com/projects/jdbc-mysql/index.xtp    The  gwe  driver:   a  Java  interface  by  GWE  technologies  (not  supported anymore).    The jms driver: an improved gwe driver by Xiaokun Kelvin ZHU X.Zhu@brad (not supported anymore).    The twz driver: a type 4 JDBC driver by Terrence W. Zellers zellert@voicenet This  is  commercial  but  is  free  for  private  and  educational  use  (not  sup- ported anymore). The  recommended  driver  is  the  mm  driver.   The  Resin  driver  may  also  be good (at least the benchmarks look good), but we haven't received that much information about this yet. We know that mSQL has a JDBC driver, but we have too little experience with it to compare. Rate of Development MySQL Server has a small core team of developers, but we are quite used to coding C and C++ very rapidly.  Because threads, functions, GROUP BY, and so on  are  still  not  implemented  in  mSQL,  it  has  a  lot  of  catching  up  to  do.   To get some perspective on this, you can view the mSQL `HISTORY' le for the last year and compare it with the News section of the MySQL Reference Manual (see Appendix D [News], page 675).  It should be pretty obvious which one has developed most rapidly. Utility Programs Both mSQL and MySQL Server have many interesting third-party tools. Because it is very easy to port upward (from  mSQL  to MySQL Server),  almost all the interesting applications that are available for mSQL are also available for MySQL Server. MySQL Server comes with a simple msql2mysql program that xes di erences in spelling between mSQL and MySQL Server for the most-used C API functions. For example, it changes instances of msqlConnect() to mysql_connect(). Con- verting  a  client  program  from  mSQL  to  MySQL  Server  usually  requires  only minor e ort.
