What was the exact command you executed? From what I can tell from a
cursory search in DDG, the thing you do on a stock CentOS 8 machine
should be just "dnf install mysql-server"[0]. I remember installing
MariaDB[1] was practically a no-brainer on CentOS 7.

Postgres is more complex because you can install either version 10 or
version 12.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-centos-8
walks you through that.

Also, when asking a new question on a mailing list, you should start a
new thread with a new appropriate Subject: line.

[0] They changed the package manager *again*?
[1] All the development is happening in that project now, though the
client and server are still named mysql and mysqld.
