documentation on this anywhere? Also, what's the current opinion/ advice on a graphical user interface for mysql please?

it's hard to go wrong with phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net/), which you can get from RPMforge.

Even that won't work without installing the server component of mysql, which is in the mysql-server package. And giving the security track record of phpMyAdmin, I'd rather stay away from that.

There is some graphical mysqladmin tool, but I cannot remember its name ...

I would also say to stay away from PHPMyAdmin because of the security issues, I would recommend:
