Installing MySQL/MariaDB
Alessio ; Héctor Louzao ; Ankur Sinha
MySQL is a popular RDBMS (Relational Database Management System). MariaDB was born as a fork of MySQL. Nowadays the two products are a little bit different. Migrating data from one system to the other could not be a trivial task.
MariaDB is fully GPLv2 licensed while MySQL has two licensing options, GPLv2 (for the Community edition) and Enterprise.
In the Fedora repositories you can find:
MariaDB 10.3 (as a regular package or as a module)
MariaDB 10.4 (as a module)
MySQL 8.0 community edition (as a regular package or as a module)
MariaDB and MySQL packages conflict because they provide similar files. So, you can only install one of them, either MariaDB or MySQL, but not both.
In addition you can also install MySQL commmunity edition (8.0 or 5.7) from the repository maintained by Oracle/MySQL itself.
Install from Oracle MySQL
Adding the MySQL repository to Fedora
Please download the release package provided by Oracle from: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/ Once downloaded, please install it using dnf:
sudo dnf install <path to downloaded rpm>
Please note that this repository is provided by Oracle so any issues/bugs encountered will need to be reported to them via their communication channels: https://www.mysql.com/about/faq/
Installing MySQL on Fedora
sudo dnf install mysql-server
Start MySQL Service and Enable at login:
sudo systemctl start mysqld
sudo systemctl enable mysqld
find Default Password, For security reasons, MySQL generates a temporary root key. Please note that MySQL has even stricter security policies than MariaDB.
sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
Configuring MySQL before the first use
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Then, answer the security questions as you prefer. or just say **yes** to all of them.
Using MySQL
sudo mysql -u root -p
Removing MySQL
I suggest to remove in the following way, the most appropriate and safe way without removing many dependencies is:
sudo rpm -e --nodeps mysql-community-libs mysql-community-common mysql-community-server
Install from Fedora Main Repo
The community provide a MySQL package in the main repo.
