I don't recommend it, but if you are stuck with mysql, then it's certainly possible.
However, you'll have to rework the code, because the example relies on the presence of a 
generator (sequence), and MySQL does not provide that (at least not when I last checked).

If you can avoid MySQL, consider using Firebird or PostGres.

What do you mean with 'nothing can be saved' ? Did you log in ?
What do you see in firebug ? (I'm assuming you use Firefox or Google Chrome)
