MySQL as Standalone? 1

[DanJR]

Is it possible to use mySQL as a standalone database for a (eg Java) application - ie not using it as a server?

I've only used mySQL as a db server and now I would like to create a small standalone desktop app that requires a backend db.

I noticed that mysql can be started with a --standalone switch, but will that still mean my app will need to communicate via tcp?

As you can see i'm rather confused and this is after searching google and the mysql website.

I'm also looking at other alternatives eg SimpleSQL.

Cheers,
Dan

You can 'embed' mysql into your application
