Very well.

The GUI actually has very little logic in that regards, as creating, 
destroying or modifying CODB objects will trigger all the related 
scripts and also handles the input validation.

However: To prevent triggering of any of the MySQL related scripts from 
running you could edit /usr/sausalito/conf/base/mysql/mysql.conf and 
comment out all lines in there. Then save the changes and rehash CCEd:

/usr/sausalito/sbin/cced.init rehash

Then you can use cceclient to make your changes w/o any of the SQL 
creation scripts running.

Be sure to revert the changes and to rehash CCEd again once you're done, 
though.
