libAttachSQL
libAttachSQL project
A lightweight non-blocking C API for MySQL servers. The repository now explicitly describes the project as dead and indicates it is retained mainly for CI testing, so it should be treated as historical.
LibreDB Studio
Sekoya Tech
A self-hosted database IDE that runs as a single container and is used from a browser, so the MySQL server does not need a port open to every workstation. It provides schema browsing, a SQL editor with schema-aware completion, ER diagrams and schema comparison with generated migration SQL, and it keeps its own state in SQLite rather than requiring a second database. MIT licensed. Alongside MySQL it reaches MariaDB, Percona Server for MySQL, TiDB, Vitess, StarRocks, Apache Doris, OceanBase and SingleStore over the same wire protocol, each measured against a live server with the per-engine results published.
Liquibase
Liquibase
A database change-management and schema-versioning platform. It records database changes in source-controlled form and supports automated deployment workflows across many database systems.
MariaDB
MariaDB
A community-developed relational database server descended from MySQL. MariaDB has developed into an independent ecosystem with its own server features, connectors, tooling, and enterprise offerings.
