Old versions of GreenSQL were not aware of the compression and encryption at all, so by disabling them, we are able to check and forward the database queries.

GreenSQL-FW: 1.0.0 released

The GreenSQL team is ready to present a new version of GreenSQL - SQL Database Firewall. GreenSQL intercepts SQL commands being sent to MySQL, checks them, and then either halts the query or passes it on to MySQL proper. Then it returns the query results to the calling application. Currently only MySQL database is supported. GreenSQL is distributed under the GPL license. This release includes a new version of firewall and a management application.

New application version is devoted in memory of Yuli’s father - Robert Stremovsky who had passed away February 14, 2009. Successful entrepreneur, industry expert and brilliant scientists in the field of chemistry, he struggled to prevent ecological catastrophe after the Chernobyl disaster. In our hearts you're always there.

This is a major application release geared towards application stability, ease of use, performance increase and elimination of bugs.
