Is there a way without reinstalling MySQL to change the locations of the
database tables?
For example right now they are in
/var/lib/mysql
I want them
/usr/lib/mysql
Thanks in advance

I think the key was _without_ reinstalling.
I emailed this privately first, but should work with minimum downtime
and preserve data:
mysqladmin -u . shutdown
su
cd /var/lib
tar -cf - mysql | (cd /usr/lib ; tar xvBpf -)
rm -rf mysql
vi
That is what the Bp flags from tar are for, and we did a su beforehand
