Hi Bertrand-
I really don't understand why that was done (it was a lot more than
removing support for mysql). It was already optional, but removing the
option seems sort of silly. The only thing I can think of is that
homebrew moved to binary packages whenever possible, so perhaps that was
involved in the decision. Did they create a pike-mysql sub-package (just
checked, they did not)?
Suppose someone could put it back in... I'm working on getting pike
added to pkgsrc[1], which covers MacOS (and many more), and which will
support a number of sub-packages, including mysql.

Hello,
Looks like Pike’s Homebrew formula is lacking MySQL / MariaDB support :

Surprisingly, looks like that was removed a while ago :

Any reason why this change was made ?
