Description:
Lose Mysql Connection when typing Describe "tablename";
i.e. describe project_drilling;

After I lose my connection I cannot connect to mysql without rebooting the machine(sometimes that does not even work).  I have several versions of mysql on my machine and would like to uninstall everything and start the installation from scratch.  Do you have any tools for uninstallation so I can completely wipe all versions of mysql from my system and start over? 

How to repeat:
Create Table Drilling(
project_id Varchar(50),
project_name Varchar(50),
num int(3) unsigned zerofill auto_increment not null,
primary key(num));

describe Drilling;
