To be perfectly honest I believe you have completely confused the programming language you are using with the SQL statements you need to use to interact with the server. These are two separate languages and have their own separate syntaxes.
You can use almost any programming language and the programming-language-appropriate MySQL library to make a connection to a MySQL server and interact with it through SQL statements. The SQL you send to the server can be constructed using your programming language or can be partially compiled for you by using the library's "prepared statement" feature, if it has one. The exact syntax of the commands and data structures that you will use to send those SQL statements and receive the results of those statements will depend *ABSOLUTELY* on the library you are using to connect your programming language to the MySQL server. I think that if you take a step back and discover both what statements the MySQL SQL language supports AND what the library you are using to connect your language to the MySQL server can do, things will begin to make better sense.
