Linux下Mysql的各个rpm介绍(同理可以知道windows上的作用)：

1. MySQL-server-VERSION.glibc23.i386.rpm
   The MySQLserver. You need this unless you only want to connect to a MySQL server runningon another machine.

2. MySQL-client-VERSION.glibc23.i386.rpm
   The standardMySQL client programs. You probably always want to install this package.

3. MySQL-devel-VERSION.glibc23.i386.rpm
   The librariesand include files that are needed if you want to compile other MySQL clients,such as the Perl modules.

4. MySQL-debuginfo-VERSION.glibc23.i386.rpm
   This packagecontains debugging information. debuginfo RPMs are never needed touse MySQL software; this is true both for the server and for client programs.However, they contain additional information that might be needed by a debuggerto analyze a crash.

5. MySQL-shared-VERSION.glibc23.i386.rpm
   This packagecontains the shared libraries (libmysqlclient.so*) that certain languages andapplications need to dynamically load and use MySQL. It containssingle-threaded and thread-safe libraries. Prior toMySQL 5.5.6, if you install this package, do not installthe MySQL-shared-compat package.

   This packageincludes the shared libraries for MySQL 3.23, 4.0, and so on. It containssingle-threaded and thread-safe libraries. Install this package if you have applicationsinstalled that are dynamically linked against older versions of MySQL but youwant to upgrade to the current version without breaking the librarydependencies. Before MySQL 5.5.6, MySQL-shared-compat also includesthe libraries for the current release, so if you install it, you should notalso install MySQL-shared. As of 5.5.6, MySQL-shared-compat doesnot include the current library version, so there is no conflict.
