shutdown - Stop MySQL service windows

Question

I am developing a website and need to refresh data. Therefore MySQL must be stopped.
How can I stop the service?

When I look at control panel services it is started without stop or restart option.

Answer 1

On Windows

If you are using Windows Open the Command Prompt and type

To Stop MySQL Service:

net stop MySQL80 

To Start MySQL Service:

net start MySQL80

On Linux

# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Fedora / Red Hat also support this:

# service mysqld start
# service mysqld stop
# service mysqld restart

Also Systemd based distrubutions (like Ubuntu or Arch Linux) support this:

# systemctl start mysql
# systemctl stop mysql
# systemctl restart mysql

I know this answer is late but i hope it helps for some one.
