Time, well a coffee break, that's all you need.
See setting up OpenBSD in 5 minutes from scratch, even here with pause
in the process too:

Then, you do:
export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/`machine -a`/
Then pkg_add mysql-server
If you have multiple choice, you can do
pkg_add -i mysql-server
and select 5.0.18 on AMD64, or even 5.0.22 on i386, or what ever else
you have the choice for on your platform.
Then follow the instruction to change your password at startup and just
run MySQL
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start &
And have fun.
I bet you, from start to finish you are done before your coffee break is
over.
Just try it and you will see.
By the way, the video is just an example, doesn't mean you should setup
yours like that, but that give you an idea how quick this is!
Really, a coffee break I tell you. That's all you need. The compare this
with Fedora setup time on your Linux for fun. (:>
