Thanks for the quick response! It never ceases to amaze me that such compartively small teams at Innobase Oy and MySQL AB produce such incredibly high-quality software.
Being a final-year Software Engineering student, I'm curious as to what you consider the most difficult problem to solve in building InnoDB and ibbackup has been. Given the fact that you set your goals extremely high for InnoDB (and have acheived them quite handily), I want to ensure that if anything remotely similar comes up in my final-year project that I either put my hand up for it and take on the challenge or run screaming in the other direction and have a somewhat easier year.

Chris

Subject: InnoDB Hot Backup + MySQL embedded?
Hi all,
I'm looking at developing an (open source) server-style application with the embedded MySQL library to be employed as the primary data store.
Has anyone attempted to use InnoDB Hot Backup for such a beast? I ask as
I do not know whether communication between ibbackup and the database
engine is required (thus requiring a few changes to the embedded lib
before compilation). A quick scan through the docs involved doesn't seem
to point me in the right direction for a definitive answer on this.
ibbackup can be used with the MySQL Embedded Server Library, no problem in that. ibbackup does not communicate with the mysqld server at all. It just reads the InnoDB data and log files.
On the other hand, the innobackup Perl script does start a mysql connection to the server.
Regards,
Chris
