Stuck & confused

Hi

I am new to macs (and kinda vim & mysql) and am having some problems with
the above.

I have installed both and can run the mysql server from terminal using
'mysql -p'. I have used sql commands before and have a pretty good grasp on
how to text edit in vim. I can also launch a vim window from terminal.

The problem is I want to be able to launch vim and then use this window to
launch mysql before submitting queries to the mysql server which are written
in vim(the server is local on my comp btw). how would I put 'mysql -p' into
vim so that I can connect to the server and then how would I submit the
queries? 

I have looked for tutorials through google but all I keep getting are
instructions how to text edit in vim.

It is possible that I have go myself very muddled re how vim & mysql
interact but any help you could give would be gratefully recieved....

cheers
