You'd be better off using an embedded database out of the box, with a configurable option to use something like mysql externally.
What if the user already has mysql installed, or they have postgres and don't want the overhead of an additional service? What if they want to use a DB on a separate machine? What if you stop maintaining your application and someone still wants to use it in 3 years time with a newer version of mysql? You'll have to consider these scenarios, and more, regarding interaction with existing installations and customisability, if you want to include mysql with your installer. 2010/1/13 smartnhandsome <[email protected]> > Thanks for all your posts, I am familiar with JNLP but I am not > hosting it on a web server ( hope I understood it right) but I also > want to install a mysql database and create a database.
