Part of OS X? I was told that it was necessary to download and install it.

Possibilities exist. I'm not aware of a direct link between
AppleScript and MySQL, and I suspect that you were looking for a
simple "tell app MySQL" solution, so some or all of these options
might be useless to you.
- There are scriptable programs available that will allow one to work
with MySQL databases. A quick search for "sql" at MacUpdate or
Version Tracker should reveal them.
- AppleScript can run shell commands so, if you can issue shell
commands to do a task, it should/might be possible to use AppleScript.
- I'm pretty sure that one can use SOAP and/or XML/RPC, in
conjunction with AppleScript, to interact with a MySQL database.
- I think there are plug-ins for FileMaker Pro that allow interaction
with various SQL databases. If so, it might be possible to script FMP
to handle the interaction.
