Dear Brion. I follow your suggestion. I got file /Users/d/Downloads/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64.dmg
At the double-click on it (in the "finder frame"), the new frame appears with four icons. they correspond to the following files: /Volumes/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64.pkg /Volumes/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64/MySQL.prefPane /Volumes/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64/MySQLStartupItem.pkg /Volumes/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64/ReadMe.txt
I try to double-click on each of them. The frame with error message appears: "MySQL-prefPane can't be opeed because it is from am unidentified developer"
Perhaps, this is case mentioned in file "ReadMe.txt" :
If this error occurs, simply click the `Go Back' button once to return to the previous screen. Then click `Continue' to advance to the destination disk selection again, and you should be able to choose the destination disk correctly. We have reported this bug to Apple and it is investigating this problem.
However, I cannot find the option 'Go Back', nor `Continue'; yet, there is nothing about MySQL at /usr/local

Yes, you need a database installed. Someone with OS X experience can probably help you better than I can.
I run a test instance on my OS X machine (currently 10.8.3). I use the MySQL installer package from dev.mysql.com -- try http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64.dmg/from/http://cdn.mysql.com/
Double-click and run the installer; also double-click the preferences pane to install that, it makes it easy to start and stop the MySQL server. This will install the 'mysql' command into /usr/local/mysql/bin so you might need to add a line like this to your ~/.profile file:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
Note that you may also need to adjust /etc/php.ini and add a line like:
mysql.default_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
for the Apple-provided PHP to see MySQL properly. You may need to stop and restart the web server after adjusting php.ini.

The extension depends on some external Unix programs as mentioned on that page, you should be able to install them through HomeBrew or MacPorts.
