In gnucash simply click File, Save As and select MySql in the dropdown list.
Then setup the database data in the fields provided and it will make a
new database for you with all your accounts in it (or overwrite and
existing database if it already exists).  Then changes to your GC data
will be saved in the database automatically as you add accounts,
transactions etc.
