I'm not the most qualified to answer this question, but if all you want is a simple menu driven interface for a MySQL DB, Perl should be an easy way to accomplish it. Using a graphical module you should also be able to make a nice GUI.
If you are going to go ahead, you want to first learn the basics of Perl. You can get started at http://www.perl.org/ Once you are familiar with the language, take a look at http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql-4.005/lib/DBD/mysql.pm I think that's the commonly used library for MySQL.
