thanks a lot for the suggestion Ignacio... is there a similar free package..

I believe Firebird has something similar, but that's not quite MySQL. It is closer than SQLite though.

+3 A:

You don't need to "install" mysql. Its binaries will run from any directory (given appropriate search paths etc), and its configuration can be specified entirely on the command-line, if necessary, bypassing the likes of /etc/my.cnf, or by specifying an alternative config file with arbitrary path.

Some engines can work with a readonly data directory (MyISAM, Archive), others may require a read/write data directory (Innodb) but that could be a temporary area or ramdisc.

There's nothing "un-portable" about MySQL.
