The prime choice for accessing MySQL and administering them is a PHP app called phpMyAdmin. It can be found here.

Also I'd check up on some tutorials at:
PHP Complete
Zend
PHP Builder

You can also learn the SQL syntax hands on at SQL Course. But other then all those links, the best way is hands on trial and error... get dirty and practice!
