I'm working on a small .Net project, I used in my project EntityFramework with MySQL server, i tried the official Full MySQL installer, but i need only the server from that package to reduce the size of my application installer, like that used in PHPMyAdmin Installer, please show me how/where find that.
MySQL Installer Configuration FilesAll MySQL Installer files are located within the C:\Program Files (x86) and C:\ProgramData folders. The following table describes the files and folders that define MySQL Installer as a standalone application.
To download MySQL installer, go to the following link http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/. There are two installer files: If you are connecting to the internet while installing MySQL, you can choose the online installation version mysql-installer-web-community-<version>.exe .
No minimal installation is available from MySQL's site. They used to have an essentials version, but it's unavailable for versions >5.1.
One solution to your case is to create your own installation - it's not very complicated. The process (in general) is to include bin
,data
,lib
, and share
folders from a clean installation, run mysqld --install
, and copy your my.ini
file (you may need to tweak with its data folder). This can give sometimes you an installation size of about 5 MB.
Another solution will be to use MariaDB as a MySQL alternative - their MSI is about 80 MB.
there are smaller versions, about 32.1MB it only allows you just to install the base server and configure the instance, you can use things like NAVICAT to manage it, have been using it for a lot of my .NET projects and it has been working very well
you can get it from https://filehippo.com/download_mysql/
