    I think you are looking at MySQL as if it was a Desktop DBMS like MS Access. These ship with a nice and more or less easy to handle GUI to produce forms and / or reports.
    MySQL or Oracle or other server based DBMS do not have this kind of functionality. They are specialized in storing and retrieving data efficiently.
    If you want to produce reports, charts or so, you will either have to program it yourself in a programming language (PHP or Visual Basic just to name two common examples) or you use an add-on, like Crystal Reports which provides the tools for creating reports and for presenting them to the users.

    But you can build frontend with ms access and pull data from MySql to generate reports.
