 1.5.1 What is MaxDB?
 --------------------
 
 MaxDB is an ANSI SQL-92 (entry level) compliant relational database
 management system (RDBMS) from SAP AG, that is delivered by MySQL AB as
 well. MaxDB fulfills the needs for enterprise usage: safety,
 scalability, high concurrency, and performance. It runs on all major
 operating systems. Over the years it has proven able to run SAP R/3 and
 terabytes of data in 24×7 operation.
 
 The database development started in 1977 as a research project at the
 Technical University of Berlin. In the early 1980s it became a database
 product that subsequently was owned by Nixdorf, Siemens Nixdorf,
 Software AG, and today by SAP AG. Along the way, it has been named VDN,
 Reflex, Supra 2, DDB/4, Entire SQL-DB-Server, and ADABAS D. In 1997,
 SAP took over the software from Software AG and renamed it to SAP DB.
 Since October 2000, SAP DB sources additionally were released as Open
 Source under the GNU General Public License (see  gpl-license).
 
 In 2003, SAP AG and MySQL AB formed a partnership and re-branded the
 database system to MaxDB.
