Many users of MySQL have contributed very useful support tools and addons.
A list of what is available at http://www.mysql.com/Contrib
(or any mirror) is shown below. If you want to build MySQL support for
the Perl DBI/DBD interface, you should fetch the Data-Dumper,
DBI, and Msql-Mysql-modules files and install them. See section 4.10 Perl installation comments.

pam, using MySQL. mysqldump
output to a C header file. By Harry Brueckner, access_to_mysql.txt, except that this one is fully configurable,
has better type conversion (including detection of TIMESTAMP fields),
provides warnings and suggestions while converting, quotes all special
characters in text and binary data, and so on. It will also convert to mSQL
v1 and v2, and is free of charge for anyone. See http://www.cynergi.net/prod/exportsql/
for latest version. By Pedro Freire, support@cynergi.net.
Note: Doesn't work with Access2! exportsql. By Brian Andrews. Note: Doesn't work with Access2! exportsql.txt. That is, it imports data from MySQL
into an Access database via ODBC. This is very handy when combined with exportSQL, since
it lets you use Access for all DB design and administration, and synchronize with your
actual MySQL server either way. Free of charge. See http://www.netdive.com/freebies/importsql/
for any updates. Created by Laurent Bossavit of NetDIVE. Note: Doesn't
work with Access2! mSQL to MySQL. By alfred@sb.net mysqldump and pipe it to the sqlconv.pl
script and the script will parse through the mysqldump output and will
rearrange the fields so they can be inserted into a new table. 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 (ie - fields in different order, etc.). By Steve Shreeve. radiusd to make it support MySQL. By Wim Bonis, hylafax
