'''Mimer SQL''' is an [[SQL]]-based [[relational database management system]] <ref name="footprint">{{bokref | title = Mimer SQL Technical Description | url = http://developer.mimer.com/documentation/WhitePapers/Technical_Description/MIMTECDESC.pdf | format = [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] | author= Mimer Information Technology | chapter = Technical Overview}}</ref> from the [[Sweden|Swedish]] company ''Mimer Information Technology AB'' (formerly ''Upright Database Technology AB''). It has been developed and produced since the 1970s when it was founded at the [[Uppsala University]], [[Uppsala]], [[Sweden]].

The name "Mimer" is taken from the [[Norse mythology]], where [[Mímir|Mimer]] was the giant guarding the well of wisdom, also known as "[[Mímisbrunnr]]". Metaphorically this is what a database system is doing - managing data.
