First thing to know is if your application is a client-server application, or just a client application.
1) Client – Server application: All clients connect to one central database machine. There you will have to install MySQL.
2) Client application: Every installation of the client requires an installation of MySQL.
You will need to deploy the necessary .dll’s of MySQL though, which is ( for as far as I can remember ) just one ( mysql.dll ).
If you’re building a setup using Visual Studio, the needed .ddl’s will be compiled in the setup for you.
Hope this gives you the information you need..
