Not sure if you want spend time on writing and supporting your solution. For php/mysql I would use http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php or if users can access db directly http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

Might take some time to tech them how to use it, but will save a lot of problems in a long run.

query.sql

CREATE TABLE "example" (
    "id" INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 
    "name" VARCHAR(30), 
    "age" INT
);

INSERT INTO "example" VALUES
('1', 'a', 1),    
('2', 'b', 2);

than you can run it from command line:

mysql -u USER -pPASSWORD database_name < filename.sql
