However, MySQL has continued to improve little by little and the proof of this is version 8 of the program.
This version has brought a lot of important news and makes MySQL work smoothly and securely. If we add to this a system like OpenSUSE then our data is in good hands.

:~$ wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-sl15-3.noarch.rpm
Next, install the package.
:~$ sudo rpm -ivh mysql80-community-release-sl15-3.noarch.rpm
Next, import the GPG key for the repository.
:~$ sudo rpm --import /etc/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysqlNow, refresh the repository information using zypper.

When trying to install mysql, I got this message in opensuse when doing a ‘cnf mysql’: mariadb-client [ path: /usr/bin/mysql, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]
Is mysql replaced by this mariadb thing?
you probably already have MariaDB installed.

I’m so pleased I located this page. I’m more pleased that you’ve taken your time to put this together. For me, you made a molehill of the Mountain I was having to climb to get mysql installed. Because you invested time (maybe a headache or two) I can do what I like which is not figuring out why openSUSE does’nt do this.
You have a pleasant day,
Peace Mate
