Why aren't people doing this more widely? I would like to see firm figures
for resource consumption by MySQL on embedded targets.

Has anyone tried running MySQL on a machine without an MMU, for example?

Surely if one wishes to go the SQL route, SQLite would be more appropriate
for embedded targets?

The code footprint given for SQLite on the web page is a typical ~250KB
on x86 for gcc, this doesn't say anything about the run-time memory
footprint, and I would imagine with better compilers it could get smaller.
