Do you have plans to extend this type eventually?

Please add a docstring.  IIUC it initializes the ‘mysql’ database for
user ‘mysql’, and that database contains configuration info, right?

Otherwise LGTM!

If you want, it would be awesome if you could come up with a (gnu tests
databases) module that would run a GuixSD with the mysql service, and
then spawn a mysql client to make sure the basics work as expected.

Thank you for working on it!
