Re: Uninstall MySQL on OS X

[Chris von Rabenau]

1) you may have several versions installed, but only one can typically run at a time, so you only need to do shutdown once.

2) tcsh is the default shell in mac os x's terminal. To check with shell you are running, type 'echo $SHELL' at the terminal command prompt. If it says '/bin/tcsh' then you are running tcsh. It it does, you can add an alias. This is done by edtiing a file in your home directory (it is hidden) called .tcshrc. Just add the following to that file (without the 's):

alias mysqld './bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &'

The next time you open a terminal window you will have the alias running. Simple as that
