MySQL was developed by MySQL company. It is a SQL engine based upon BDB
(and other) backends. It is actively maintained and sold by MySQL company.
MaxDB was developed by Nixdorf, later by Software AG, later by SAP AG.
SAP currently is maintaining it (actually it is open source), while
MySQL company is selling licences and support offers.
