mysql_client_test  Ver 2.1 Distrib 5.6.19, for osx10.8 (x86_64)

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.19, for osx10.8 (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper
root@lhasa:~
$ type -a mysql
mysql is /opt/local/bin/mysql

What I did: I upgraded from mysql5 to 5.6 by doing: $ /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -p > mysql5dump.out # remove mysql5 et cetera $ sudo port install mysql56 $ sudo port install mysql56-server $ sudo port select --set mysql mysql56 $ mysql_upgrade -p $ sudo mysqld --user mysql # in other terminal (just for the record) $ mysql_upgrade -p

Personal note: MySQL and -- I'm afraid to say Mariadb as well -- are the source of never ending trouble.
