Ummm, not sure exactly what you're asking but you can use mysql_query to issue the relevant sql commands to create your database and tables and so on. In cases where I want to package something that kicks off I usually create an install script that looks for the database I need and if it doesn't exist then create it. Obviously if you actually want to test code on your development box then you're going to need an actual sql server to do it.
