It was my mistake typing “+R”, which explains the error message.
Changing to chown -R instead did finally work once I saw what I had done.
Sorry for the trouble.

Sorry for typo: what I tried was;
chown -R _mysql:_mysql /Users/me/Databases/mysql/data

Whenever macOS updates to a new version, it destroys the custom settings for my
user directory and subdirectories that are required for mysql to access its
datadir, which is in a custom location.
In the past, I’ve used the command
chown +R _mysql:_mysql /Users/me/Databases/mysql/data
