I've installed MySQL on a Mac via brew.
I do constant brew updates but MySQL keeps telling me it has a new version.
Does brew update not update MySQL?
If so then how should I do it? Manually?
No, brew update only updates Homebrew itself including retrieving the latest list of formulas/packages available.
Once you have ran brew update you can then upgrade all formulas/packages using:
brew upgrade
To upgrade a particular package you can use the brew upgrade command like:
brew upgrade mysql
Before running an upgrade you may want to know what can be or is going to be upgraded using the command:
brew outdated
NOTE always remember to read the post install/upgrade notes that are output. Some packages require manual steps post install/upgrade like major database version upgrades often require data upgrade/migration procedures to be run.

Using this MacPorts guide, I installed MySQL 5.7 on my Mac.
I want to uninstall it now but I can't find any documentation specific to removing just the MySQL server I installed through MacPorts.
I found this guide and others similar to it on how to completely remove MySQL on a Mac, and followed every single step listed.
However, when I issue the command, sudo port load mysql57-server, I can still load the MySQL server.
So how can I completely remove MySQL 5.7 installed through MacPorts?
Turns out, it's really simple - sudo port uninstall mysql57-server.
That removed MySQL 5.7 installed through MacPorts.
I just did a clean install of CentOS Linux. The first thing I did after installing CentOS was to download MySQL and try to install the -server rpm file. But the installation fails with a lot of messages stating conflicts with MariaDB packages which seem to be redundant to those in MySQL. I want to use MySQL as my database.
Are there any reasons why I should not just delete mariadb, so that the conflicts can be resolved? If mariadb performs some important functions in CentOS, I do not want to end up having my system crash.
You could use MariaDB as mysql version 5.5 for it is just another MYSQL branch...
In Centos 7, it is a alternative project of oracle mysql. It contains all mysql functions and optimize structures, data processing, Algorithm etc..
you could even login the server with a "mysql" command.
you don't need to pay attentions on the name, it is no problem to your former mysql projects.
ps:
I don't think that a linux system will have a "clean", "pure" os environment. Linux is a free and open source system which means you could install and remove every thing with no problem.
To have MySQL database functionality you can install either the MySQL packages or the MariaDB packages. MariaDB is a fork originating from the same MySQL code base. For compatibility see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/
Yes, you can remove MariaDB packages and replace them by MySQL packages.
I tried to install MySql by using HomeBrew on my mac. (for hive usage)
I tried:brew install mysql, but it gave me error and warnings as:
Error: You must `brew link pkg-config' before mysql can be installed
Warning: It appears you have MacPorts or Fink installed.
Software installed with other package managers causes known problems for
Homebrew. If a formula fails to build, uninstall MacPorts/Fink and try again.
How should I fix this ? Thanks!
I need to upgrade mysql 5.0 to mysql 5.6 on Linux Server . What are the commands or what are the steps should I follow . I am new to mySQL and Linux. I have gone through the steps to follow but I could not get any complete idea like how to get the software copied to Linux and what are the mysql commands on Linux to upgrade the existing mysql.
Check the Official Documentation on MySql for the instructions to Upgrade your MySql server.
As #Michael said, It heavily depends on your Linux distro. Generally you can upgrade using Yum Repository/Apt Repository via Terminal. You may refer to the documentation for more information.
I'm trying to upgrade our company's 4.1.22 version of MySQL to 5.
I'm using
sudo yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade mysql*
but keep getting an error of conflicted files with the 4.1 version.
Does that mean there really isn't any other way than uninstalling 4.1 and installing 5.0? I have read that using the yum upgrade command should work however...
Thanks in advance!
You need to uninstall MySQL 4.1.22 and fresh install MySQL 5. We recently migrated from MySQL 5.0 to 5.5 which required similar steps.
