    You can see if you have got the mysql server installed with

      rpm -q mysql-server

    You can see what other mysql-related rpms are installed with

      rpm -qa | grep mysql

    If the server isn't installed you can install it with (as root)

      yum install mysql-server

    Once it is installed, you can start with with (as root)

      service mysqld start

    hth,

    Dave...
