How to slim MySQL?
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 :) *-- Nima Mohammadi*

Re: Got error 139 from storage engine (InnoDB)
I think this is related to foreign key constraint data types don't match up... so verify your CREATE TABLE structure or post the CREATE TABLE statement for your table. Or there is chance of data type size and the value you are inserting.. such type of problem occurs if the data import ie source and restore ie target are of different versions .
