The engine will be quite important, stripping all engines you don't need will have the largest effect on size. > Is there any other work I could do to strip MySQL? Check the character sets you configure, get rid of those you don't need. You might look into compiler options optimizing for space rather than for speed, but I hope you are not that much limited by your system. If you want to run client/server as separate binaries, you can use "--without-embedded". However, I guess linking the server part to the application will have a big effect on space requirements, so you really should look into that. Are you using version 5.1 or 5.5 ?
