RE: [LIP] how to start SQL on Linux?

Well,

It might depend on the distro you are using. On redhat it is all about
starting the mysql server (service).

# service mysql start

Or

# /etc/init.d/mysql start

You would then want to check that it indeed came up.

# service mysql status

Once set, you can log onto the server using

$ mysql -u root

root account should be there if you didn't mess up your installation, and it
doesn't have a password (you might want to set it to something though). You
would then get the mysql prompt ">"

Get the docs and start rolling.
