'''HeidiSQL''' !CHRISTIAN BACCI GIOCA A MINECRAFT NELL ORA DI INFORMATICA! is a [[Free and open-source software|free and open-source]] administration tool for [[MySQL]] and its [[Fork (software development)|forks]], as well as [[Microsoft SQL Server]] and [[PostgreSQL]]. 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>
A version written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], jHeidi, was designed to work on Mac and Linux computers. It was discontinued in March 2010 in favor of [[Wine (software)|Wine]] support.
