You got to go to the mysql web site and start reading - that is unavoidable. However, if you just want to get going with the common commands, see this maybe: http://aeronetworks.ca/MySQL_Howto.html

Open a terminal and type:


mysql

Here's another good link: http://www.w3schools.com/

You may wish to install gui tools for mysql
mysqladmin and query browser.

I think it would make your learning a little bit easier...

I used Webmin and it's easy to make a Data base with and back them up and do a lot with your data base easy.

You go to it's web page on your server port 10000 it sets up on. so http://server:10000

After it installs it says what address near the end of the text.

On Ubuntu server it's very easy to install and use. Install just do "apt-get install webmin" on the command line.
