Package %{scl_name} provides MySQL database server delivered as a Software Collection. For more information about Software Collections, see the scl(1) man page. By installing the %{scl_name} collection, you will get the minimum working set of packages to have a working MySQL database server. %if 0%{rhel} >= 7 Usage: systemctl start %{?scl_prefix}mysqld %else Usage: service %{?scl_prefix}mysqld start %endif Software Collections allow you to build and execute applications which are not located in the filesystem root hierarchy, but are stored in an alternative location, which is %{_scl_root} in case of the %{scl_name} collection. MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It is a client/server implementation consisting of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs and libraries. This package contains the MySQL server and some accompanying files and directories. When you want to work with the %{scl_name} collection, use the scl utility (see the scl(1) man page for usage) to enable the scl environment. The only exception is starting and stopping %{?scl_prefix}mysqld daemon, where scl environment is enabled implicitely within the SysV init script or systemd unit file. Configuration for the %{scl_name} software collection is located under %{_sysconfdir}. MySQL server listens on network soket (by default port 3306) and unix socket (by default /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock). Examples: scl enable %{scl_name} 'command --arg' Run a specific command with the argument --arg within the %{scl_name} software collections environment. scl enable %{scl_name} 'mysql -u root -p' Run mysql shell from the %{scl_name} software collection. scl enable %{scl_name} bash Run an interactive shell with the %{scl_name} software collection enabled. %if 0%{rhel} >= 7 systemctl start %{?scl_prefix}mysqld %else service %{?scl_prefix}mysqld start %endif Starts the MySQL server from %{scl_name} software collection. scl enable %{scl_name} 'man mysql' Show man pages for the mysql command, which is a part of the %{scl_name} software collection. Files: %{_scl_scripts}/service-environment Define which software collections should be enabled for the daemon process. Report bugs to <http://bugzilla.redhat.com>.
