what package provides "mysql_install_db"

I wanted to migrate a digikam database from sqlite to internal mysql.
Unfortunately there is no “mysql_install_db”.
Does anybody know what package I have to install to get that?
I’m on Linux Mint 20.1. MATE. So it’s Ubuntu/ Debian based.

mysql_install_db is from MySQL, but is deprecated, so you might want to go another route:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-install-db.html

Also, MySQL now belongs to Oracle. You might want to look at the very similar MariaDB:

Thanks.
Yes, I think I’ll have to try with MariaDB.
