I cannot see in mysql online manual Embedded example
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/libmysqld_example.html) any pathname
telling where de database will be saved in disk. So I suppose it must be
some existing database especified on some configuration file.
Could be embebbed mysql be a replacement to sqlite for programs that
just want to create some database in some specified file with no
configuration if possible?
I was thinking of embebbed mysql as a way for user unprivileged desktop
programs creating databases at user's home. The apps I was thinking of
were personal databases, addressbooks and so. For being embebbed and
created on a personal file or dir they would be easy to create, update
and remove. Besides, for using mysql backend it would be powerful (lot
of features as foreing indexes and constraints and complex sql commands)
and I suppose easy to export data for latter use in other mysql
databases and so if neccesary.
So I could thank any opinion on this to help me know if embedded mysql
could fit my needs or I would better use a simpler solution as sqlite.
The things I would try to avoid:
- An unprivileged desktop user needing to edit system config.
- Needing to edit config files. Better to set up everything inside the
application.
- Being able to create, edit and remove database from application. No
need for extra config.
thanks,
txemi.
