I think it will suit you well, to get (and install) the 'phpMyAdmin'
package. It will simplify the aspect of creating and maintaining the
database, while you learn the ins-and-outs of MySQL.
You may want to invest some time in reading and learning the MySQL
documentation. Especially the part where the GRANT instruction is covered.
In a nutshell, you want to:
CREATE the database for your user.
GRANT the particular user, with rights over the database.
Then, let him/her do with it as they please.
