How to uninstall mysql on redhat linux version 5

Question

Every time I run this script:

document.getElementById("billTable").appendChild(nextRow)
document.getElementById("billTable").appendChild(LISTname);
document.getElementById("billTable").appendChild(LISTprice);
document.getElementById("billTable").appendChild(LISTremove);

It creates:

<tr></tr><td>L - Meat Lovers Pizza</td><td>$6.70</td><td>X</td>

I am trying to make it so the TD tags are with in the TR.

Solution 1

Any reason not to use Yum?

yum erase mysql will resolve the dependencies and show you every thing it would need to remove.

Solution 2

You can tell RPM to ignore dependencies and just rip stuff out with the --nodeps flag. I've had to do it in some cases, but make sure you reeeally understand what's depending on those packages.

Another neat trick is to run rpm -qa|grep <thing you want to uninstall>|xargs rpm -e, that will remove all of the packages with "thing you want to uninstall" in the name. I;ve found a lot of times this helps alleviate dependencies if they're all related to the same install.

Solution 3

Try with:

yum remove mysql mysql-server

Solution 4

If you really wanted to remove an rpm without checking dependencies you can always use the --nodeps flag like so:

rpm -e mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6 --nodeps

I assume billTable is the <table>, if so, you are targeting the wrong elkement, you must target the <tr>

[jmoerdyk]

You need to append the td elements to tr not the table

Nice command! I appreciate it.. It looks like its all pointing back to sendmail.. this is strictly going to be a db server but just wanted to start with a fresh install.

No prob, just an fyi, if you still need it, --nodeps, or sometimes also, the --allmatches flag, they go at the end of that last command after -e - jus tin case people who find this don't already know.

Well that did work quite cleanly!
