MySQL is a database management system (DBMS), a so called backend system. MS Access is a DBMS (backend) plus graphical frontend. The frontend of MS Access has VBA for all kinds of scripting purposes. If you use Perl or PHP as a frontend you can use those languages to process query results, etc. If you use something like OpenOffice.org as a frontend you can use the Basic language that is built into OpenOffice.org. MySQL provides a very, very basic frontend through the MySQL client that provides the MySQL prompt, but this frontend (client) does not contain any scripting language.
