MySql Community Server Minimum System Requirements

Can anyone point me to a link or provide me information about the minimum System/Hardware requirements required to run/install MySql Co开发者_JS百科mmunity Server on a windows machine.

Thanks,

Oracle doesn't seem to publish any minimum hardware requirements because the minimum will depend largely on how each user uses the database. A nice tool I found for calculating your specific minimum requirements is MySQL Calculator.

According to MySQL Calculator, based on MySQL's defaults, you will need 576.2 MB of RAM for the program. By adjusting the settings to the absolute minimums, I got a value of just under 8MB. Of course, such low settings will render MySQL very slow and limited but at least that gives you a theoretical starting point.

If you refer to the manual, you'll see that there are no hardware requirements defined.

If you think about it, this is pretty logical since the required hardware will greatly depend on your schema and data.

If you look at the answer below you'll find a calculator for needed memory that could be a start to define how much RAM you need.

I would say any computer beefy enough to run windows will also be able to run MySQL without much issues. Then, you might have to update your hardware based on your database.

Sorry for not being able to give a better answer ;)
