I think we should start adding a chapter "Uninstalling MySQL" to the
manual :)
Anyway, on Mac OS X it does not seem to be possible to removed installed
PKGs using some Package Management tool. To remove MySQL, you have to
recursively delete the following directories (make sure to backup any
important tables!):
rm -rf /usr/local/mysql
rm -rf /usr/local/mysql-<version>
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql-<version>.pkg
Hope that helps!
Bye,
LenZ
