Measuring it as binary installs:
- Installing PostgreSQL on Debian requires adding a 9.8MB package. - Installing MySQL on Debian requires adding several packages adding up to (+ 8.7 0.2 1.0 0.6), or roughly 10.3MB. - Installing FireBird2 requires (+ 2.2 0.7 2.4 1.8) or about 7.1MB.
I compiled PostgreSQL on Mac OS X with optimization -Os (for size) and the resulting installation was less than 2 MB. I am looking to embed it in applications to reduce administrative effort, so size matters in my case.
