What os are you using? Linux or Windows?

I believe you just need to have the process run in the background, then install something like phpmyadmin to manage the database

You need to create and connect to the database using the mysql prompt,

Mysql's website has wonderful documentation.

i'm running windows xp, there is no mysql prompt

The MySQL Control Center can help you with that or you can use phpMyAdmin.

I would imagine that mysql would install shell extensions, but it may not have. Either way the control center should take care of you.
