Many users of MySQL have contributed very useful support tools and addons.
A list of what is available at http://www.mysql.com/Contrib
(or any mirror) is shown below.
If you want to build MySQL support for the Perl DBI/DBD
interface, you should fetch the Data-Dumper, DBI, and
Msql-Mysql-modules files and install them.

pam, using MySQL.
mysqldump output to a C header file. By Harry Brueckner,
access_to_mysql.txt, except that this
one is fully configurable, has better type conversion (including
detection of TIMESTAMP fields), provides warnings and suggestions
while converting, quotes all special characters in text and
binary data, and so on. It will also convert to mSQL v1 and v2,
and is free of charge for anyone. See
http://www.cynergi.net/prod/exportsql/ for latest version. By
Pedro Freire, support@cynergi.net. Note: Doesn't work with
Access2!
exportsql. By Brian Andrews.
Note:@: Doesn't work with Access2!
exportsql.txt. That is,
it imports data from MySQL into an Access database via
ODBC. This is very handy when combined with exportSQL, since it lets you
use Access for all DB design and administration, and synchronize with
your actual MySQL server either way. Free of charge. See
http://www.netdive.com/freebies/importsql/ for any updates.

mSQL to MySQL. By alfred@sb.net
mysqldump and pipe it to
the sqlconv.pl script and the script will parse through the
mysqldump output and will rearrange the fields so they can be
inserted into a new table. An example is when you want to create a new
table for a different site you are working on, but the table is just a
bit different (ie - fields in different order, etc.).
