Before you go further, I would like to point out a caution: When you do a rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
It outputs various packages, not necessarily indicate that mysql itself is installed, it might mean different things i.e. libraries, perl, php that supports MySQL. Specifically the output line "mysql-3.23.58-1" indicates that the MySQL 3.23.58-1 is installed, therefore, yes the MySQL package is installed.
