MySQL is a client/server database, and the command mysql rruns the
client.  By default it tries to connect to a server running on
localhost, which wasn't there.  Find the documentation - possibly
/usr/share/doc/mysql/manual_toc.html and look at section 2 Installing
and section 3 Tutorial.

Yu may also want to consider running Webmin or phpMyAdmin to provide Web
based GUIs to the database.  Both are brilliant, especially phpMyAdmin.

Cheers

Steve
