Mysql 5.4 Support For Mac
Posted By admin On 01.03.20I am trying to install MySQL 5.1. I am on Lion, and when I remove all files associated with MySQL on my machine it still tells me that I have a newer version installed when I try to install it from the DMG file. Has anyone successfully installed MySQL 5.1 on Lion?

You should only need to install the Connector/ODBC driver when your application requires an ODBC interface. Applications that require or can use ODBC (and therefore the Connector/ODBC driver) include ColdFusion, Filemaker Pro, 4th Dimension and many other applications. Mac OS X includes its own ODBC manager, based on the iODBC manager. Mac OS X includes an administration tool that provides easier administration of ODBC drivers and configuration, updating the underlying iODBC configuration files.
