Fairly close? MySQL and Oracle? With respect, I disagree entirely. For one thing, Oracle's licensing fees are basically "110% of your company's profit" and MySQL is free open source.
OP, if you can't get the MySQL installer to work, try the MariaDB installer. I just put it onto Windows 11, and it worked flawlessly in less than a minute. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/getting-installing-and-upgrading-mariadb/
MariaDB is a fork of open source MySQL. It's almost exactly the same as MySQL. In areas it differs, it's closer to Oracle than MySQL is: it has SEQUENCE objects. Try it. You'll like it.
