If you are doing any type of web development and you are planning on using a mysql table, do yourself a real favor and install phpMyAdmin. I have been using this solution for a few years now (since the move from postgreSQL to MySQL) and I gotta say it is a really nice tool to have.
There are several versions available, the OS X version comes in a nice mpkg installer as well as a easy to start script which will generate your blowfish key and get you going (that was a nice feature add on). I keep browzar (windows) or safari open to manage the tables and databases while I am working in other applications, it just makes it really nice.
For that matter make sure you at least try out MySQL. The latest versions come in a variety of installer packages complete with scripting to make sure the daemon is configured for launch at startup.
