My 9.1 Pro install (ymmv) already had MySQL installed. As root, try:

 /usr/bin/mysql  -h localhost -p <enter>

to get a prompt. You will then want to access the online docs to perform initial security tasks and to create a "regular" user.

Then I also executed "javac" the java compiler equiv to cc or gcc and got the usage listing, so that must be installed also. I do not develop in java but know the rudimentary compiler command, I realize this is CLI, and you may want a GUI.
