Oracle doesn't seem to publish any minimum hardware requirements because the minimum will depend largely on how each user uses the database. A nice tool I found for calculating your specific minimum requirements is MySQL Calculator.

According to MySQL Calculator, based on MySQL's defaults, you will need 576.2 MB of RAM for the program. By adjusting the settings to the absolute minimums, I got a value of just under 8MB. Of course, such low settings will render MySQL very slow and limited but at least that gives you a theoretical starting point.
