your first message: >The drupal mysql datafiles are located at > /Applications/drupal-7.15-0/mysql/data > > as opposed to /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 for > 'customary' mysql. this crap is outside your mysqldata and that is why it was suggested that you teporary change the datadir of your mysqld to /Applications/drupal-7.15-0/mysql/data or if this are only MyISAM-atbles FOR SURE you can simply move the database folders in your running mysqld-datadir typical MacOSX-style to throw things around the whole machine without any logical structure like applications in the userhome...... this is the price someone has to pay for a poor operating system without package management
