# MySQL-Macports plugin This plugin adds aliases for some of the commonly used [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) commands when installed using [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) on macOS. To use it, add `mysql-macports` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... mysql-macports) ``` For instructions on how to install MySQL using MacPorts, read the [MacPorts wiki](https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MySQL/). ## Aliases | Alias | Command | Description | | ------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | | mysqlstart | `sudo /path/to/mysql.server start` | Start the MySQL server. | | mysqlstop | `sudo /path/to/mysql.server stop` | Stop the MySQL server. | | mysqlrestart | `sudo /path/to/mysql.server restart` | Restart the MySQL server. | | mysqlstatus | `mysqladmin5 -u root -p ping` | Check whether the MySQL server is running. |
