Oftentimes I want to query my MySQL data directly without a server running or without having access to the server (but having read / write rights to the files).

Is there a tool or maybe even a library around to query MySQL data files like it is possible with SQLite? I'm specifically looking for InnoDB and MyISAM support. Performance is not a factor.

I don't have any knowledge about MySQL internals, but I presume it should be possible to do and not too hard to get the specific code out?

Thank you for any suggestions!
