How do you stop MySQL on a Mac OS install?

Question

I installed MySQL via MacPorts. What is the command I need to stop the server (I need to test how my application behave when MySQL is dead)?

Answer 1

For me it's working with a "mysql5"

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
