I’m trying to learn how to use mysql with a rails app. I installed mysql with Homebrew (brew install mysql), and I don’t understand how to run a mysql server or client (what that means, entails, or anything).

My OS is Mac OS Snow Leopard.

How do I run a mysql server or client? I just want to get something functioning so I can do rake db:create, create my development database, and get my app up and running so I can create models, tables, and essentially develop without hassle.

Thanks for any and all help.
