 1.3 History of MySQL

   We once started off with the intention of using mSQL to connect to our
   tables using our own fast low-level (ISAM) routines. However, after
   some testing we came to the conclusion that mSQL was not fast enough
   or flexible enough for our needs. This resulted in a new SQL interface
   to our database but with almost the same API interface as mSQL. This
   API was chosen to ease porting of third-party code.

   The derivation of the name MySQL is not perfectly clear. Our base
   directory and a large number of our libraries and tools have had the
   prefix "my" for well over 10 years. However, Monty's daughter (some
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   years younger) is also named My. So which of the two gave its name to
   MySQL is still a mystery, even for us.
