Hi folks, I'd like to install MySQL on an embedded system. It's a powerful x86-based computer with the only limitation of having a small-size flash ROM as its secondary storage. I tried installing MySQL from source which resulted in occupying 140 MB of disk space, while the maximum amount of flash memory I'm permitted to use is about 20-30 MB. So I'm wondering how to go about slimming MySQL down to the bare minimum. Following is the list of directories at the root of the installation directory: * bin/ * include/ * lib/ * libexec/ * mysql-test/ * share/ * sql-bench/
I think removing the 'include', 'mysql-test' and 'sql-bench' directories may be a good start, but I'm still far away from having a tiny little mysql! BTW, I tried MySQL Embedded, but it seems that it doesn't meet our needs. Any help would be highly appreciated :) *-- Nima Mohammadi*
