Mac OS X is well supported by MySQL. MySQL is even preinstalled in Mac OS X Server, although we choose to ignore the OS X Server installation in favor of installing the binary so that development and servers all have the MySQL files in the same paths. Developers in our company run MySQL on our Powerbooks and we have a dedicated master XServe running MySQL with another XServe acting as a slave replicating to the master.

It is easy to install. Here are my installation notes for Panther (OS X 10.3)

The www.mysql.com site has information on Mac OS X too aswell as the read me file in the download.

Once you are up and running, I recommend CocoaMySQL as a complementary GUI (note complementary, you still need to do stuff on the command line ....... easy after a little while) if you are still learning MySQL command line.

I’m new to the list and new to mySQL. I’m a Mac user and would like to set
up a DB on my Mac. When I look at the MySQL web site, I can’t seem to find
any info on what hardware can be used. Can mySQL be run on a Mac? If so,
what do I need to know about how to set it up? Can anyone point me to a
setup procedure? Jim
