'''HeidiSQL''' is a [[Free and open-source software|free and open-source]] administration tool for [[MySQLMariaDB]] and its, [[Fork (software development)|forksMySQL]], as well as [[Microsoft SQL Server]], [[PostgreSQL]] and [[SQLite]]. Its [[codebase]] was originally taken from Ansgar Becker's own MySQL-Front 2.5 software. Due to having sold the MySQL-Front branding to an unrelated party, Becker chose "HeidiSQL" as a replacement. The name was suggested by a friend as a tribute to [[Heidi Klum]], and was further reinforced by Becker's own nostalgia for ''[[Heidi, Girl of the Alps]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=19|title=heidi?|website=www.heidisql.com}}</ref>
