The simple answer is "yes". You need to read chapters 4 & 5 in the Mysql manual, You can download it as a PDF from the documentation page of developer resources.
I'm assuming you're installing from a binary rpm? You then need to run the install_mysql_db script, start the server using mysqld_safe, configure your root and admin accounts, and then connect as admin from mysqlcc. You can then do all your other user maintenance etc from the control center, including creating new database instances. You can even use it to administer different server versions simultaneously by setting up multiple connection instances. Again the server for each must be running before you can connect to it.

One quick question here. I just installed the MySQL Control Center and get the "host not allowed" connection error. So, do the database have to exist on MySQL Server and set-up permission for that database in order for MySQL Control Center's connection to work?? I'm new here as I switched from DB2. I can access the DB2 Server from DB2 Control Center while there's no database available on that DB2 Server.
