On my Fedora 22 system, ps -aef shows:
someuser 3097 3086 0 18:32 ? 00:00:01 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/someuser/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf --datadir=/home/someuser/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --socket=/tmp/akonadi-someuser.xEIhbs/mysql.socket
I have never explicitly installed mysql (I use PostgreSQL for all my real database requirements) so wonder why this is there.
Can I safely zap this and, if so, how?
Cheers and all the best for the silly season, Stephen

I'm away from a Linux system right now, but what do you get with the following?
rpm -q --whatrequires mysql-server

My bad. I should have noticed that this was from Akonadi.
I assume you are running KDE? If so, this is normal on a clean install. It uses MySQL/MariaDB as a backend.
