Of course, you're running an enterprise operating system, not openSUSE or 
Fedora.  You're going to have the same version available to you for the life of 
the platform, unless there's no way to avoid upgrading a package for a security 
vulnerability.

What you install depends on what you want to do.  If you want to run the server 
on your system, then select mysql, and YaST will figure out the dependencies.  
Most likely it will pull in mysql-shared.

MySQL-max is the MAXDB (previously SAPDB) version of their product.  It might 
be what you want, but probably isn't.

If you want to write programs that make calls to a MySQL server, then 
mysql-devel would be your choice.

If all you want is to have the run-time libraries on your system so that 
applications written to make MySQL calls will work, then just mysql-client.

Install MySQL via YaST, then run online update.  If there have been any updates 
for it, you'll get it.
