MySQL is one variety of a database handler... the other "kinds" of well known databases are Access and SQL, where MySQL is in the middle, access is meant for smaller tasks, but is uses on business applications anyway, and SQL is meant for a wide variety of uses an complexity, unfortunately, for you, to start using any of these, you have to read a lot, if you really want to start developing database programs, start with Access, try creating a database for your music, or your books, or even your contacts. it takes a while, buy some books, or do a search online for a tutorial.
