Much depends on what you call "editor", there are quite many different tools
that you can "edit" with.
1. Database administration (mysql-administrator)
These tools allow you to easilly "edit" the settings for the database server
2. Query browsers (mysqlnavigator, mysql-query-browser)
These tools give you a frontend to communicate with your database
3. IDE (KDevelop)
Allows you to develop software and has syntax coloring, so you can see
easily if you done things right or not
If you want to make dynamic web pages, but not spend the time to learn SQL and
PHP, then you have a load of CMS projects at freshmeat.net that you can use.

I would grab a cheap webhost (cpanel type, few bucks a month) and play
around with it. If youre on windows, you can grab a copy of Xampp which is
an all in one apache/mysql/php/curl release that is pretty easy to work
with.
The reason I liked starting with these was phpMyadmin made it easy to
check out what my scripts were doing to the database, and it wasnt
intimidating like working on a command line. Leafing through a few books
at the bookstore also helped to make sense of the more complex ides too..
