I'd suggest that you read the MySQL handbook. It's very comprehensive and should guide you through installation and initial configuration.

MySQL has a similar command-line interface (I've forgotten what it's called, probably "mysql", but the manual will tell you). Alternatively there are various GUI interfaces that you can use; or you could use Visula Studio in Windows.

in my college they have set up a server which i have never seen. and when we goto lab, we just type http://sqlserver/isqplus and we have to login using username and pass set by the server and then we code our database.
is there a way to do that with my two systems?

is there any online database like that which i can use ?

Sorry, should have given you a link. It's at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/. You can also download any additional components, such as ODBC, JDBC, and .NET drivers, that you might need. It's a very good database system nowadays and seems (to me) to be much easier to use and better documented than MS SQL Server.
