MySQL has it's own tools for free: http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/ I think they're in the repos.

There's also phpMyAdmin.

If you want to learn command line, there's a plethora of tutorials out there. Google "MySql tutorials"


This would be a good place to start: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql_intro.html

Be careful when learning SQL, it is a standard, but all the database management systems use their own dialect. The basics are the same however.

A good tutorial for MySQL and SQL in general is at http://www.tizag.com.

Hello,
Welcome to Ubuntu. I am also new to linux and sql. Follow this link to a guide for setting up MySql and Postgresql on Ubuntu -https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/databases.html. Both are widely used and offer plenty of support. I have set up Postgresql on my machine and I am in the process of learning the basics. Have fun!
