MySQL server makes management of databases, data storage and processing
and so on
...
MySQL client program is used to communicate with MySQL server :)

If you want to work with MySQL server you must have it :) As a client
program you can use MySQL client program or any GUI or you can

At first you should create your database. How to create databases read
in our manual:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/r/Creating_database.html
At second you should create a table:

About inserting data into tables you can also read in our manual:
