     Did you install MySQL administrator? If not you should. It is 
probably available from the PCLinuxOS  depositories. This is a GUI 
program that permits you to do all the administrative work for MySQL. 
Use it to shutdown the MySQL server. You can not do this from within 
Base that I know of.
     You looked through the SQL Manual, but have you looked through the 
MySQL Manual for 5.1? The latter is the one that has the information 
that you need to shutdown MySQL. It also describes how to compact any or 
all of the databases on the MySQL server. This manual is available in a 
variety of formats. (I have the manuals for 5.1 and 5.6 versions in ePUB 
format.)
