Roam,
Why are you installing a client server database on an embedded
system? There are better databases for this task. In the past I've been
able to squeeze a Windows application and an SQL database so it could run
directly off of a floppy disk (remember those?). But it wasn't client
server. :) It seems to me you are trying to fit an elephant into a phone
booth. Just don't expect it to sit up and dance.
BTW, where are the MySQL temp files going to go? Like the ones used
for sorting the table? Also are you going to have crash recovery in case
the machine gets accidentally powered off and damages the database?

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 :)
