Hi! All that you ask for is, of course, possible. Only it would ask for some additional installation scripts, which will depend a lot on the OS to which it will install. If you will be selling your product, you will also require MySQL licence. Regarding embedded server, it works with C , but it could be made linkable in java application, with some additonal work. -- Regards, __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Sinisa Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Fulltime Developer /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Larnaca, Cyprus <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
