 1.5.5 Feature Differences Between MaxDB and MySQL
 -------------------------------------------------
 
 MaxDB is MySQL AB's SAP-certified database. The MaxDB database server
 complements the MySQL AB product portfolio. Some MaxDB features are not
 available on the MySQL database management server and vice versa.
 
 The following list summarizes the main differences between MaxDB and
 MySQL; it is not complete.
 
    * MaxDB runs as a client/server system. MySQL can run as a
      client/server system or as an embedded system.
 
    * MaxDB might not run on all platforms supported by MySQL.
 
    * MaxDB uses a proprietary network protocol for client/server
      communication. MySQL uses either TCP/IP (with or without SSL
      encryption), sockets (under Unix-like systems), or named pipes or
      shared memory (under Windows NT-family systems).
 
    * MaxDB supports stored procedures and functions. MySQL 5.0 and up
      also supports stored procedures and function and functions.  MaxDB
      supports programming of triggers through an SQL extension. MySQL
      5.0 supports triggers. MaxDB contains a debugger for stored
      procedure languages, can cascade nested triggers, and supports
      multiple triggers per action and row.
 
    * MaxDB is distributed with user interfaces that are text-based,
      graphical, or Web-based. MySQL is distributed with text-based user
      interfaces only; graphical user interfaces (MySQL Query Browser,
      MySQL Administrator) are shipped separately from the main
      distributions. Web-based user interfaces for MySQL are offered by
      third parties.
 
    * MaxDB supports a number of programming interfaces that also are
      supported by MySQL. For developing with MaxDB, the MaxDB ODBC
      Driver, SQL Database Connectivity (SQLDBC), JDBC Driver, Perl and
      Python modules and a MaxDB PHP extension, which provides access to
      MySQL MaxDB databases using PHP, are available. Third Party
      Programming Interfaces: Support for OLE DB, ADO, DAO, RDO and .NET
      through ODBC. MaxDB supports embedded SQL with C/C++.
 
    * MaxDB includes administrative features that MySQL does not have:
      job scheduling by time, event, and alert, and sending messages to
      a database administrator on alert thresholds.  (MySQL has
      scheduling support starting with version 5.1.6.)
