[digiKam-users] 'MySQL Internal' on MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) from mac pkg installer

[Gary]

Gilles,

Thank you for your prompt, helpful reply.

I’ve uninstalled DK 7.2.0 and installed 7.3.0 from the new pkg file. All good. 'MySQL Internal’ database is configured successfully.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Gary
