Yesterday, I installed MySQL through the terminal command. I was surprised to find out that I could not find any presence of MySQL on my Ubuntu machine. So, I ran the installation command again. This gave me the message:

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
mysql-server is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Am I too much in Microsoft mode now ? is there another way to start MySQL, or am I trying to find an Enterprise Manager type of tool that isn’t there. If there is any help for me, please reply to this post.
