1、方法一：安装mariadb
MariaDB数据库管理系统是MySQL的一个分支，采用GPL授权许可 MariaDB的目的是完全兼容MySQL，包括API和命令行，使之能轻松成为MySQL的代替品。MariaDB由MySQL的创始人Michael Widenius（英语：Michael Widenius）主导开发，他早前将自己创建的公司MySQL AB卖给了SUN，此后，随着SUN被甲骨文收购，MySQL的所有权也落入Oracle的手中。MariaDB名称来自Michael Widenius的女儿Maria的名字。
安装mariadb，输入安装命令
[root@localhost home]# yum install mariadb-server mariadb
mariadb数据库的相关命令是：
systemctl start mariadb #启动MariaDB
systemctl stop mariadb #停止MariaDB
systemctl restart mariadb #重启MariaDB
systemctl enable mariadb #设置开机启动
先启动数据库
[root@yl-web yl]# systemctl start mariadb
默认无密码
[root@localhost lzh]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

2、方法二：官网下载安装mysql-server
# wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm
# yum install mysql-community-server
安装成功后重启mysql服务
# service mysqld restart
初次安装mysql，root账户没有密码
[root@localhost lzh]# mysql -u root

设置密码
mysql> set password for 'root'@'localhost' =password('password');

安装完以后mariadb自动就被替换了，将不再生效。
