'''HeidiSQL''' is a [[Free and open-source software|free and open-source]] administration tool for [[MariaDB]], [[MySQL]], 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|access-date=2017-05-22|archive-date=2019-03-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331104119/https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=19|url-status=live}}</ref>

Ansgar Becker began development on a MySQL front-end in 1999 naming the project "MySQL-Front" and used a direct API layer written by Matthias Fichtner<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.fichtner.net/delphi/mysql.delphi.phtml |title = Client API for MySQL Database Servers |publisher = audio-data.de |author = Matthias Fichtner |accessdate = 2014-12-01 |date = 2011-09-15 |archive-url = http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20020808163649/http://www.fichtner.net/delphi/mysql.delphi.phtml |archive-date = 2002-08-08 |url-status = dead }}</ref> to interface with MySQL servers and contained databases. Private development continued until 2003 with version 2.5.
In 2004, during a period of inactivity, Becker sold the MySQL-Front branding to Nils Hoyer, who continued development by [[clone (computing)|cloning]] the original software.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=20155|title=the truth about heidiSQL history in wikipedia|website=www.heidisql.com|access-date=2017-05-22|archive-date=2016-02-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160219031506/http://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=20155|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=23|title=Zu: Announcement: End of MySQL-Front ?

In April 2006, Becker open-sourced the application on [[SourceForge]], renaming the project "HeidiSQL". HeidiSQL was re-engineered to use a newer and more popular database-interface layer, ZeosLib, which debuted in version 3.0.
