Okay...NO programming experience....I've heard of sql but what I've heard (think techie conversations to a non-tech) scares me. I am preparing to set up multiple databases for use across my home network which will include cloud/remote storage and remote access.

I've done the first step (I think) both mysql client & server are installed on THIS machine....(using software center). Now to take baby steps in I was planning on playing with KRecipes to set up and import, export etc. (this is one of the projects I need to get done...the recipe stuff so...) But after installing I'm stuck...can't access anything at all. I could cheat and use the db stored in a local file but that isn't the long term solution.

The search through help documentation everything is older and either geared toward a specific application or on how to compile to install. Is there an easy how to get going?
