Setting up MySql server

[longbeard]

I like to run a mySql database server on a Ubuntu (which is no server) for local use only. Is there some instruction how to do this? I downloaded several DBMS but they all seem to assume a running server.

after a quick google search I found this:

I haven't checked if it's up-to-date with the latest Ubuntu, but the main procedure is explained in an easy way.
