It depends on what level of support and lifecycle you want. You could
run Fedora which I am assuming will include mysql-server. You have
essentially no support and a short life cycle.
You could run Red Hat Professional Workstation, and add mysql-server
yourself by either grabbing the srpm or getting the mysql sources and
rebuilding, or by getting a binary rpm from someplace else (Fedora or
other distros, or from the mysql site). You have a multi-year lifecyle.
You could get RHEL WS, ES, or AS and add mysql-server yourself.
You could get the separate layered product, but I believe we 're waiting
for more details on what this entails.
