Description

I want to get back up to speed with SQL, for an application I'm thinking of making.

I tried installing MySQL, but got in trouble because it didn't like the temporary password, and things went downhill from there.

I just want to launch an app on my Mac desktop, and be able to point the Node.js mysql package at it, and start playing.

Or use a remote server, preferably one that's free.

I'm a long way from deploying anything, this is just for play and experimenting. There must be a simple no-brainer answer, so I thought I'd ask the braintrust rather than use trial and error.

Thanks in advance! :-)
