| I think you have the wrong idea about mysql. It's a relational database. You should first learn how to design a database and some SQL. There are a couple of GUI tools (free) for download at the mysql site. These tools are designed to make the work of the DBA or developer easier but they still require that you know how the underlyng database works. |

| Personally, I use PHPMyAdmin, which is a program that you install on the web server and enables you to work with tables and databases. It's a good idea to learn a bit about SQL and databases in general first, but that program makes it much easier to get started. Make sure that your web hosting company allows the use of PHP first (they may already offer PHPMyAdmin as part of the hosting package if you're lucky). Otherwise, get it from: http://www.phpmyadmin.net |

| Another vote for phpMyAdmin. Plus, most hosts that I've been on install it by default. One of the nice things about it is that when you run searches, insert or edit data, or run pretty much any query it displays the SQL code that is run so that you can start to learn how to write the code directly instead of relying on an external program. |
