err did u read e installation guide? I think e default MySQL installation only comes with a pref pane in system settings. there is no GUI frontend to access it. u need to use e terminal.

you need to read the documentations...

did you download and install the workbench too?

This is not a Mac OS X problem. I highly recommend you get a book on MySQL and learn how to manage it.

have the same problem , mysql in mac os seems weird.
There is mysql in my system preference but somehow after installing everything in mysql.dmg folder there seems to be no program?

MySQL is a server. It is not a client application. Why should there be anything at all?
