Problem

I just downloaded the first GA release of MySQL 5.7, and noticed that the RPM bundle comes with two versions of the MySQL server package:

  • mysql-community-server-5.7.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm



  • mysql-community-server-minimal-5.7.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm



What's the difference between the normal and the "minimal" server packages?

I could not find this information on the MySQL website.

Solution

It looks like mysql-community-server-5.7.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm includes the following additional features (list may not included all) that are not available in the mysql-community-server-minimal-5.7.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm:

  • innochecksum



-
myisam_ftdump

-
myisamlog — Display MyISAM Log File Contents

-
myisampack — Generate Compressed, Read-Only MyISAM Tables

-
mysql_plugin — Configure MySQL Server Plugins

-
mysql_secure_installation — Improve MySQL Installation Security

-
mysqld_pre_systemd

-
mysqldumpslow — Summarize Slow Query Log Files

-
perror — Explain Error Codes

-
resolve_stack_dump — Resolve Numeric Stack Trace Dump to Symbols

-
resolveip — Resolve Host name to IP Address or Vice Versa

I think debugging option is also limited in the mysql-community-server-minimal-5.7.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm version.
