I install mysql server;

class { 'mysql::server':
    package_name  => 'mysql-server',
    service_name  => 'mysql',
    #package_ensure => 'mysql-server-8.0',
    root_password           => "myAwsomePassword",
    create_root_my_cnf     => true,
    remove_default_accounts => true,
    #restart                 => true,  
  }

On terminal:

dpkg -l | grep mysql*

ii  mysql-server-core-8.0                8.0.

and for mariadb there is no output, so far so good. # dpkg -l | grep maria*

as far I want to create database with below section:

mysql::db { 'mydb':
   user     => 'myuser',
   password => 'mypass',
   host     => 'localhost',
   grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
 }

to check whats happens

dpkg -l | grep mysql*

for mariadb

dpkg -l | grep maria*

When I add the create database section, its install mariaDB client I dont know why!!!

I can see here :https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mysql/blob/main/manifests/params.pp

in the switch case it decide for debian in my case uUbuntu 22.04 for mariadb as provider but why?

    'Debian': {
      if $facts['os']['name'] == 'Debian' or $facts['os']['name'] == 'Raspbian' or
      ($facts['os']['name'] == 'Ubuntu' and versioncmp($facts['os']['release']['major'], '20.04') >= 0) {
        $provider = 'mariadb'
      } else {
        $provider = 'mysql'
      }
      if $provider == 'mariadb' {
        $client_package_name     = 'mariadb-client'
        $server_package_name     = 'mariadb-server'
        $server_service_name     = 'mariadb'
        $client_dev_package_name = 'libmariadbclient-dev'
        $daemon_dev_package_name = 'libmariadbd-dev'
      } else {
        $client_package_name     = 'mysql-client'
        $server_package_name     = 'mysql-server'
        $server_service_name     = 'mysql'
        $client_dev_package_name = 'libmysqlclient-dev'
        $daemon_dev_package_name = 'libmysqld-dev'
      }

Based off of this comment, can you try adding:

  class {'mysql::client':
    package_name   => 'mysql-client',
  }

I'm not sure if it's relevant to the problem you're seeing, but you might also add:

  class { 'mysql::bindings':
    client_dev_package_name => 'libmysqlclient',
    daemon_dev_package_name => 'libmysqld-dev',
  }
