B. Contributed Programs

Many users of MySQL have contributed very useful support tools and add-ons.

A list of some software available from the MySQL website (or any mirror) is shown here.

You can also visit our online listing of MySQL-related software at http://www.mysql.com/portal/software/. The community facilities there also allow for your input!

If you want to build MySQL support for the Perl DBI/DBD interface, you should fetch the Data-Dumper, DBI, and DBD-mysql files and install them. See section Perl Installation Comments.

An example is when you want to create a new table for a different site you are working on, but the table is just a bit different (that is - fields in different order, etc.). By Steve Shreeve.
