Have you considered SQLite? You probably want to compile your own version of MySQL. You probably want to remove debugging symbols* (which have been present since the mid 5.0 series, iirc), and any engines/character sets/etc you don't need. *Alternatively you can run the strip command. -- Rob Wultsch wult...@gmail.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
