'''HeidiSQL''' (previously known as MySQL-Front) is a [[Free software|free]], [[open source]] client for [[MySQL]] developed by German programmer Ansgar Becker who goes by the pseudonym Anse.

== General details ==

The releases with version numbers below 3.0 were known as MySQL-Front until 2.5. The name has changedbeen switched in 2006 to HeidiSQL, as Ansgar Becker took his old sources and put them into a new open-source-project at [[SourceForge]] in April 2006.

There was also a shareware-application called "MySQL-Front 3.0", which was developed by another developer from 2004 to 2006 and had a complete new codebase.

* HeidiSQL is completely develloped in Delphi
