It's been a long time coming but we hope the +wait has been worth it. As the development of mSQL 2 continues, further +funtionality will be made available. This release concentrates on +adding the underlying performance and data handling features to mSQL. + +The software has changed quite a lot since the 1.x version of mSQL. +Some of the new features are greatly improved support for indexing your +data, much better performance for complex queries and large data sets, +the addition of variable length TEXT fields, support for server managed +numeric sequences, better regular expression handling, and easier +control over the configuration of the server. + + +FreeBSD-specific port notes +--------------------------- + +The port of mSQL 1.x lived in it's own tree, /usr/local/Minerva. At the +time, mSQL was a part of a larger project called Minerva, to which other +tools would be added. These other tools would also live in +/usr/local/Minerva. + +As of the 2.x release of mSQL, the author of mSQL has put many of these +tools into the base mSQL distribution, and so it is no longer feasible to +have the program live in it's own directory. + +So, in keeping with the BSD directory tree structure, you will find the +following changes between the "official" mSQL 2.x distribution and the +FreeBSD port : + + +Documentation states: Port uses: +===================== ========================== +/usr/local/Hughes /usr/local +/usr/local/Hughes/msqldb /var/db/msqldb +/usr/local/Hughes/msql2.sock /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql2.sock +/usr/local/Hughes/msql2.pid /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql2.pid +/usr/local/Hughes/msql.conf /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql.conf +/usr/local/Hughes/msql.acl /usr/local/etc/msql2/msql.acl + +To start the daemon, run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/msql2.sh as root.
