I don't know, as I have Slackware 8.1 and I use postgresql rather than mysql. I installed postgresql from sources. If mysql is anything like postgres, the focal point is the creation of a super user account for management of the databases. Since mysql came from a slackware package, you might want to look at the package contents; look at /var/log/packages/mysql-..... and see what files are in there. It probably launched the database server for you already. I should say that any of these database systems have quite a bit involved and there is generally a "client" piece you use to interact with the system. Look for /usr/doc/mysql... files. I don't know your SQL server experience with this but hope this helps some.
