A contributed stable port of mSQL 2.0.5 may be found within the camp-1.1b (Cygwin Apache mSQL PHP3) embedded web authoring environment in binary form at http://www.student.uni-koeln.de/cygwin/Distribution/Binary A contributed PostgreSQL 6.4 port in binary form is also available at this location, but it's only supposed to run on NT. MySQL is _not_ ported to Cygwin due to the lack of the pthreads functions used in the multi-user multi-threaded MySQL database engine. Currently Cygwin is getting at least experimental support for pthreads functions, but I suppose it will take some time to get a stable port of MySQL done to Cygwin. There is a native Win32 shareware version of MySQL 3.21.29a which works perfectly with our Apache 1.3.4 and integrated PHP 3.0.6, check out MySQL's official web site.
