Welcome to Mimer SQL. This document describes how to install and set-up Mimer SQL on macOS. To get the most out of this document, you should be familiar with your macOS environment and know how to use the various macOS system tools, especially using the Terminal command line tool.
Mimer SQL provides small footprint, scalable and robust relational database solutions that conform to international ISO SQL standards. It is very well suited for high performance mission critical systems as well as for mobile and embedded appliances. In addition, Mimer SQL is equipped with an extensive multilingual support using collations.
When you install Mimer SQL, a default development edition license key is installed. This license covers basic usage for development purposes and enables 10 concurrent users.
If you want to use Mimer SQL for any purpose other than development, you must purchase a commercial license. Contact your Mimer SQL distributor, https://www.mimer.com/contactus/, to purchase the license you require. Your new license key will be sent to you via e-mail. You apply the new license key by using the mimlicense tool in the installation.
