Answering my own note.. haha.
I see that I was wrong, both mysql and maria are supported by the
OS. I don't think there is anything in my old maria db files that
would not be compatible with mysql, so I'll remove maria and clean
up things and let the script install mysql.

Ok, thanks. Isn't maria the supported db by the OS? I thought I was using maria because it got regular security updates via the standard OS repos and mysql no longer did.
I think my password failure was due to having maria installed already.
So the best approach would be to remove maria and clean up a few other things, then run the script again letting it do it's thing?
Thanks for the help Eric and Remo.

I used to give option for either Maria or MySQL install in CentOS 8; it became burdensome to keep two sets of packages so I settled on MySQL. All the packages are compiled with MySQL support, not Maria, on Rocky/Alma/Springdale 9.

Per the previous question about Rocky.. I'm in the process of doing a Rocky 9 install right now! So yes, I believe it's the way to go, although I'm not an expert.
My problem right now is... I ran qt_install per the instructions.
After a while, it pops up asking for a mysql password. I didn't know what to put in, tried the root password, it failed and now the script continues on. But there are errors because I wasn't able to put in the right password. So two questions.
1. What should the mysql password be?
2. When it finishes, what should I do? I guess I could run it again, it's not operational yet, so maybe running again and putting in the right mysql password would get me back on track.
Please advise..
