Introduction

Mychem

Mychem is a chemoinformatics extension for MySQL and MariaDB. This extension provides a set of functions that handles chemical data stored in a database (i.e. file format conversion, chemical properties computation, …). These functions are provided through the UDF mechanism, making them usable like native MySQL functions.

Mychem is based on Open Babel (version >= 2.3.2). As Open Babel is a well-known software in chemoinformatics, Mychem proposes reliable and fast functions. These functions permit you to search, analyze and convert chemical data.

More informations about Mychem are available on the Mychem website.

MySQL and MariaDB

MySQL is one of the most popular Open Source SQL database servers. It is a very fast, multi-threaded multi-user and robust application. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software. Further informations about MySQL can be founded on the MySQL website. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL.

Open Babel

Open Babel is a chemical toolbox designed to speak the many languages of chemical data. It is an open, collaborative project allowing anyone to search, convert, analyze, or store data from molecular modeling, chemistry, solid-state materials, biochemistry, or related areas. You can find more informations about Open Babel on the Open Babel website.
