Answer 1

Are you sure you want to require each user to have a MySQL Server installed on his workstation in order to work with your application, and putting the correct Connector in place?

• Replace it with remote server
• Use a textfile database
• Use a lighter DBMS (atleast something easier than a full MySQL installation)

If you MUST use a local MySQL, there exist automated installers that can do that for you.
