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.
