there are two options for mysql when it comes to windows...there is a 'windows essentials' and then there is the normal download.

the documentation says the essentials package, (it's almost half the size) is the recommended one because it has all that is needed.

i don't really care if i download the biggest file size, but if i don't need to, i'll take the smaller package.

any comments?

take the normal one, you just never know what you'll need. Better to have it and not use it, than to need it and not have it
