MySQL 8.0 Database Administrator — Question 18

You plan to install MySQL Server by using the RPM download.
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. You can provide the root password interactively.
• B. You must manually initialize the data directory.
• C. The MySQL RPM package installation supports deploying multiple MySQL versions on the same host.
• D. MySQL uses the RPM relocatable installation target feature.
• E. The functionality is split among several RPM package files.
• F. You can find the root password in the error log after the first start.

Correct answer: C, F

Explanation

Option C is correct because the MySQL RPM package indeed allows for multiple versions to be installed on the same machine. Option F is also correct as the root password can often be found in the error log after the first run. The other options either misstate the installation process or do not apply to the RPM installation of MySQL.
