Missing binary in /usr/bin/

I am trying to get MySQL running on my computer, but the mysql binary is missing from my /usr/bin/ directory. I've tried installing from the standard repositories and compiling myself from ABS, but it never appears.

Where can I get this file? Is this part of some other package? The pkgbuild file for MySQL doesn't seem to mention it.

I dont have mysql installed so I cannot tell directly anything.Check the package for files in bin directories, with this ...

pacman -Ql mysql | grep bin

The binary I'm looking for is apparently owned by another package. How do I find out which one?

I'd use pacman -Qo /usr/bin/mysql but it doesn't exist...

Okay, I found it. It is owned by mysql-clients. Thanks! I'm still trying to learn everything that pacman is capable of.
