I need to create a database in MySQL that I need to bundle with my program for distribution. The user will have its own copy of MySQL running. User using my program will not bother about database issues and the bundled database will provide him, through my application program GUI, to enter/retrieve data. For this I have thought of using the file based database ie some file(s) will be bundled that are MySQL database. The configuration to tell where the MySQL is running that will operate on the file system database bundle will be done before running the program. How to create such database in MySQL. An analogy could be the way MS-ACCESS creates the .mdb file that one can use anywhere configuring the ODBC32 on windows. For creating such database in MYSQL whether i will use INNODB Database or ISAM table. if using INNODB database it is possible then from where i will get mySql that support INNODB(which version of mysql for linux and windows).
