…and RTFM, the MySQL manual is top quality and has a good tutorial.

gui's indeed; more hassle than they are worth.
Yeah I have been using the command line, it's just this book (or manual) tells you to build some weird web interface and use that to send querys and I was wondering if there was anything better.
I'll give the actual MySQL manual a go though.
