Justin, as far as Ruby and database interaction goes I would recommend an
ORM like ActiveRecord or Sequel, DataMapper looks cool too but doesn't work
well in Windows.

It might get you up and running faster if you looked into phpMyAdmin.  It is
a php based "web tool" for interfacing with MySQL databases.
