Hello I am a newbie @ mysql so excuse me in advance for silly questions.
I am preparing to develop an embedded application on a PC104 board with linux. I was hoping to use mysql embedded but have disovered in the documentation that it cannot be accessed via TCP from another process. I suppose unless the above is an outdated fact that I will ahve to install MySQL server on the board access it from the local application with the C API for client applications and can then also access it from other hosts via TCP. There are two (major) problems I face however: 1- I only have 16MB flash to install it on of which I require at least 8 for other applications. How small can I make the MySQL server and how do Igo about doing this? 2- All flash storage I have been told has limited life in terms of writing on it. For my applicaition which will be write to the database intensively, ti would be ill-advised to use mysql unless I can load its file to RAM. Loss of data on power-down is not a problem as long as system integrity is retained and I can start up again all applications including the Mysql databse. Is it possible (or does this happen automatically) to have all reading and writing take place in volatile memory instead of accessing the HD every time? Regards and thanks in advance for all replies.
