I want to know if it is possible to use MySQL Engine without having to install WAMP Server. I’m developing an application that will require a database, so I was thinking of using MySQL instead of MS SQL or access. So I don’t want to install the WAMP package yet I want to install the MySQL Engine, so if possible, please provide me with the download link for the MySQL and how to install and use (start/stop service).
You will need the runtime and the .net connector to make this happen. You also might find the workbench (gui tools to manage the server and run queries) to be helpful.
The runtime installs a service by default, which you can control on the commandline or via the windows service management console (services.msc).
