The mysqld and mysqladministrator tags are entirely superfluous. Unfortunately, there's 14 and 25 tags respectively. I would like to request that they be merged with the mysql tag.

There are now zero using mysqladministrator. I'm stuck on hold with a vendor's support rep... – jscott Aug 31 '10 at 19:43
Thanks! Looks like you took care of them both. – Warner Aug 31 '10 at 20:23
Not a problem, I was bored. Back on hold... ..ugh. :) – jscott Aug 31 '10 at 20:42

I concur. The extra tags add nothing except confusion.

mysqld is the MySQL daemon, whereas mysqladministrator is a management interface. Two completely different things and completely distinct from the generic mysql. What's next, merging all Windows server tags?

mysql and mysqld are largely synonymous in the context of the tag for all intents and purpose. I do not see the value in separating them. mysqladministrator tagged questions were all over the board and not pertaining mysqladmin. – Warner Sep 1 '10 at 1:35

Having a tag for every potential binary with UNIX software will have little benefit in most cases. – Warner Sep 1 '10 at 1:43
I appreciate your concern. I believe [mysqld] is synonymous with [mysql] and also [mysql-server]. The management interface tool "MySQL Administrator" has been EOL since 2009-12-18. The replacement is known as "Database Administrator". Perhaps a tag for the management suite that is more appropriate? [mysql-workbench]? – jscott Sep 1 '10 at 1:51
