Answer 1

If you used brew then you can find out which version you are using by:

launchctl list|grep mysql

this will print something like

92555   0   homebrew.mxcl.mysql@5.7

In my case I'm using mysql@5.7

You can stop using:

brew services stop mysql@5.7

Answer 2

Finally got around the autostart - Thanks to all who contributed and allowed me to see the way.

To stop the auto start I used:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist

And to kill the service I used:

sudo pkill mysqld

Answer 3

brew services stop mysql@5.6 worked for me, when all else failed.
