Setting up a MySQL database...

I am selling a product where my customers have to create a MySQL database on their server.

2 questions:

1. Can a MySQL db be set up on a Windows server as well, or just Linux box?

2. Some customers get scared when you tell them they have to create a db. They don't know how. So I am offering an "installed" price as well. So far, I've only had experience in creating db in cpanel and Plesk. If a customer has neither, is my only other option SSH?

If by SSH, can someone give me the basic commands to create a MySQL database? I just want to know how to create it, name it, and assign it a username/password. Regarding populating it, my product does that automatically through a browser.

Thanks for your help.

Vito
