Description
unfortunately service containers are not supported in windows, so we'd need a different method to make a database available.

- Research direction
- The issue states that service containers are not supported on Windows runners, so an alternative method is needed to provide a MySQL database during tests. Research how to set up MySQL on Windows GitHub Actions runners, possibly using a direct download and service start, or using a third party action like 'setup mysql' but note that many are Linux only. Since the issue has no comments or PRs, maintainer guidance on accepted approach may be required. Look at other Python database libraries that have Windows CI for inspiration, such as asyncpg or databases. Files to consider: the CI configuration file (likely .github/workflows/test.yml) and any existing test setup scripts.
