uninstall mysql in linux redhat

[Ryan Golhar]

If you installed mySQL using the make command, you should be able to
uninstall it using 'make uninstall' I believe.

If you installed via rpm, try 'rpm -e MySQL-server-standard'.  

Why are you using -ivh?  'i' mean install...

Subject: uninstall mysql in linux redhat



Now I found one package using this command:
# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
output: MySQL-server-standard-5.0.7-0.rhel3.i386.rpm

When I tried to remove this package it gave error:
# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-standard-5.0.7-0.rhel3
error occurred in service mysql: file or directory are not available
Error: %preun(MySQL-server-standard-5.0.7-0.rhel3) scriptlet failed,
exit status 1

And when I tried to install this package again, it gave error:
output: # rpm -ivh MySQL-server-standard-5.0.7-0.rhel3.i386.rpm

MySQL-server-standard-5.0.7-0.rhel3 is already installed

So I can not remove this package and I can not reinstall it.

Any idea.
