Has anyone played around and integrated changes to their MySQL Database and not lost sleep?
Is it easy? - I'm aware of PHPmyadmin BTW
Did you sweat it and made mistakes? - Could you roll back on any mistakes?
I've played around with microsoft access for a time but I'm in unsure territory with mysql
I've downloaded it and installed it but I don't know how to use it
Any suggestions?

Re: MySQL
Do you have MySQL workbench? http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
I use MySQL adminstrator, etc, but it looks like they've recently upgraded to the above. Very easy to use - if you're doing anything "scary" just run a DB backup - you can then restore anything you do or don't want to.
So long as you back-up first, then worst case you need to restore to remove any cock ups. As typically SQL statements simply fail to run rather than half running and making a mess, it's fairly fool-proof anyway
