It’s a lot of upfront work sure, but afterward installing any package (including MySQL) is just appending the package name to a list in your config file. The powerful part is that uninstalling the package is as simple as deleting it from that list. Or if you don’t want to install the package permanently and just want it for a one-off job, `nix-shell -p mysql` starts a shell with mysql on your path, which will disappear as soon as you exit the shell.
