Re: Upgrading MySQL erased all data

[Santino]

Are you sure?
/usr/local/mysql is a symbolic link to another direcory ( 
/usr/local/mysql(version).

I think the installer overwrite the symbolic link so if you open a 
terminal and type:
ls -l  /usr/local

FYI
Luckily (and unfortunately) we have a backup of that database from last
week. (The guy that did it here in the office is still in a bit of a frenzy
though).
