2. | Embedded access, means you will use the libmysqld.dll (windows)/ libmysqld.so (linux) to access your MySQL database directly. This means you bypass the MySQL server altogether, because in this case your application is the server. NOTE: Simultaneously accessing your database while another server is already using it, is not recommended. But as you can imagine, this is great for distributing a mysql database with your application, without actually having to install and setup a mysql server on the end-user machine.
