SVOOP Version 5.0.51 has just been released, however, it doesn't work out of the box on my Mac with OS X 10.5.2. I've filed a bug report that contains a workaround that circumvents the permissions issues. However, this is okay for a development Mac like min, you MUST NOT do it on a production system. http://bugs.mysql.com/34814

STORMCHILD Thanks, it works! I recently found a "fix" to get the preference pane working in Leopard, but it didn't work for me. This "official" fix works great though.

JMROSSOL thanks so much for this link. I stumbled on this form about a year after my original post-- and have been booting via command line for too long. For those of you who need more info... this pref. pane works for those who did the custom work-around in the previous posts on this topic. Worth trying at any rate... you can't harm your computer.

VINCENTJ Yes. MySQL 5.0.45 is working with Leopard. But you have to setup a path with the commands : sudo ln-s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock Note that MySQL PreferencePane is not working correctly. PHP 5.2.4 is already installed in leopard (but not activated).

SVOOP It's a permissions issue. This will solve it "brute force", I'm too lazy to figure out exactly which permissions misbehave for my development only system. sudo chmod -R a=rwX mysql-5* http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=28854

JMROSSOL After trying a number of solutions... I found that this set of instructions got the stock 5.0.45 install working with Leopard. http://www.nabble.com/MySQL-Install-on-OS-X-Leoperd-t4699997.html The key is to start the server first and then run VincentJ's code... note... there should be a space before the"-s" sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

TEKSESTRO Unfortunately, many developers seem to believe that MySQL is a 'free' product, when it isn't. Its licensing scheme is quite restrictive for professional production. Although newer versions are more stable, have more of the *basic, required* features that make a database engine a 'true' database system (such as foreign key support, and transaction rollback), the truth is that there are other systems out there - such as the excellent and much under-used PostreSQL - which, in my experience, have a less restrictive license, are more advanced, supporting more standard features, and still just as cross-platform.

OSXFACTOR What happened to the package installer? I installed the x86 version two weeks ago, and it had a packaged installer. I had to reinstall today (reinstalled the OS), and all of the installers on MySQL's site are command line only. I'm certain I got the Mac x86 packaged installer from MySQL's site. What happened to it?

GRANTNEUFELD The MySQL package for Mac OS X makes the basic installation procedure a snap (as opposed to the old process that required building and installing it from the command line). The System Preferences pane is handy, too - although it could do with providing access to a few more options, too. You still have to do a bit of manual setup, but it's getting easier and easier. Be sure to get the free MySQL Administrator application (also from MySQL AB) for a Mac OS X graphical front end to administration of MySQL.

ANONYMOUS No problem with opening .dmg Take care to download the right version for your OSX 10.x I manage my databases with phpMyAdmin. For Mathematica afficionados : don't forget that Mathematica can connect (but you need to update to mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar) to mysql databases, manages queries and handles datas. A delight.

I've tried installing this about 4 times, following the instructions PRECISELY, and this thing just refuses to run. A web search reveals this happens to MANY people. If you can't make a package that'll run and install correctly, don't bother putting out a product!

ANONYMOUS For simple tasks like phpBB forums, php forms, and other lightweight uses, this is the ticket. It's efficient, clean, and quick. It's a great little SQL for small web tasks, and getting better. If you're looking for JDBC work, or for heavier tasks such as major commercial shopping carts, go to FrontBase. They have a free dev (tell they why you want to use it is all they ask) and a free liteweight deployment license, and it's good all the way up to serious WebObjects development. (I used to recommend OpenBase, but they've gotten greedy, especially with WO dev.)

ANONYMOUS Great intro to SQL databases. The feature set with MySQL is getting better and is free for personal use. For *ANY* business application they suggest you purchase a license @ $500 and are looking to enforce that policy in the future. I will use MySQL for little stuff like weblogs... but for large scale applications. PostgreSQL is the only way to go.. totally free!

JIMW To begin with, let me state that I have not either downloaded or used this product. However I have been acquainted with similar products and have browsed the web site. SQL databases are not for novices. Generally, if you are looking for something for your music, video collection, wine list, or exercise routine, this is not what you want to use. While it is "free" the company makes its money off of support, consulting, training, and certification. It is designed to be run off of servers and support many users for powerful relational databases. It was not designed with the casual or home user in mind, except as a user logging into a running database over a network. On the other hand, this might be a place to start if you want to learn about becoming a database engineer or designer. While I am always looking for a good deal or something free, this may not be it for the average user when it comes to databases. Frankly I can't think of a free simple, easy to use general purpose database offhand. For a quick solution with limited records, I use AppleWorks - yes it is still available, works in Panther, has a real flat file database, and is relatively inexpensive. Otherwise I use FileMaker. While I believe it is somewhat overpriced for an individual user, it is stable, fairly easy to use and does the job well. FileMaker now has relational database capabilities and can be easily be published on the web. If you don't know what a relational database is, you probably don't need one and can get by with a traditional flat file database. Trust me, they are easier to setup, deal with, understand and maintain. Please note: Excel is NOT a database, it is a spreadsheet, although it can be made to look like a database. No spreadsheet I know of is a true database. On the other hand, databases can be made to look like spreadsheets as well.

ANONYMOUS So if you have never used MySQL, why do you feel that you are so qualified to offer such a long-winded opinion?

SJK And you feel "so qualified" to anonymously question the validity of JimW's comments/opinions? While I don't agree with some of the details I think his comments are reasonable cautionary advice on the topic. He said he was acquainted with similar products and, frankly, it doesn't take direct experience with MySQL to realize it's easy for many people to get in over their heads. It may be trivial to follow procedures for installing/configuring "traditional" databases but ongoing management of them can become overwhelming for someone who doesn't learn and understand more about them. Same goes for anyone "blindly" setting up mail, web, and other server-type services without better understanding what's necessary to properly support them.

MARCO MARSELLA This version is broken. I can connect and work fine from JDBC but there is no way I can use the command-line client. Whatever query I try, I get silly errors such as "No table specified". Back to 4.1.0-alpha
