I installed mysql via Homebrew using these instructions http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/installing-ruby-rails-and-mysql-on-os-x-lion.
I also added it to the auto-start by using these commands:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.15/com.mysql.mysqld.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist
Since it takes up a lot of RAM I'd like to remove it from the auto-start but don't know how to accomplish this. How can I remove mysqld from the autostart?
launchtl list | grep mysql only gives these entries which can't be removed
4104 - homebrew.mxcl.mysql
4317 - 0x7f90704148e0.anonymous.mysqld

MySql is a server, running all the time, unless you install it "on-demand" and run and stop it yourself. MySql Workbench is nothing but a client that connects to a server, it has nothing to do with the server itself.
In Ubuntu 18.04, sudo systemctl disable mysql will prevent mysql-server from autostarting on boot. For linux, there are 3 main init systems: Systemd , Upstart and SysV . Although nearly all Linux systems run on Systemd. The other two init systems might also co-exist in your system.
systemd, the mysqld_safe and mysql. server scripts, Solaris SMF, and the macOS Startup Item (or MySQL Preference Pane) can be used to start the server manually, or automatically at system startup time.
If you installed mysql using brew/homebrew, then remove using
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist
Or just remove the ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist file.
