A. There are 2 scenarios for embedding MySQL. Scenario 1: Deeply Embedded MySQL The customer has no visibility into the operation of the database. The ISV/VAR is using the embedded MySQL Server Library (libmysqld) as an in-process data storage engine that provides all the features of a traditional relational database but with a small footprint that can fit within devices, hardware, appliances and lightweight applications. In this mode, MySQL requires zero administration by the end user. In addition, because MySQL runs in-process, there is no network I/O, which helps to improve performance. Scenario 2: Bundled MySQL The customer has complete visibility and control over the database, enabling them to configure, tune, optimize, and administer the database. The ISV / OEM uses the MySQL Server as a standalone relational database.
