MSQL

It was initially created for personal usage from mSQL based on the low-level language ISAM, which the creators considered too slow and inflexible.
Combined with the free Linux operating system, the availability of relatively powerful low-cost PC hardware, and the development of World Wide Web standards and technologies, mSQL was an important factor in the early development of interactive, dynamic web applications, particularly in the period 1994–97, after which it was increasingly supplanted by the more highly featured MySQL.
