MySQL 5.5 on Sparc Solaris 11.3 / there is no mysqladmin

I've installed MySQL on solaris 11.3 sparc:

Interesting thig, there is no: /usr/local directory

but: /usr/mysql/5.5/bin

serverse is running:

root@rs1sparc1:/usr/mysql/5.5/bin# svcs -a | grep mysql
**online**         12:03:20 svc:/application/database/mysql:version_55

So i tried:

# find / -name 'mysqladmin'

gives nothing, cant find it, how to manage MySQL?

Solution

  • You need to install the client. I think previously it was part of the core package which may be the reason for the confusion?. Anyway, just do

    $ pkg install database/mysql-55/client

    or

    $ pkg install database/mysql-56/client

    depending on your needs.

    After this mysqladmin command should be available to you with no further configuration as long as /usr/bin in your path.

    Btw: For these types of questions http://pkg.oracle.com is your friend. I was able to answer your question with a search.
