Database languages supported by MySQL
Hallo, I would like to know whether there are any other languages supported by MySQL apart from SQL. e.g. MsAccess provides VB for aplications. Does MySQL support any such lower level language?

From: Ochungo, Pamela (ILRI) I would like to know whether there are any other languages supported by MySQL apart from SQL. e.g. MsAccess provides VB for aplications. Does MySQL support any such lower level language? 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.

Does MySQL support any such lower level language? I believe you are asking about so called procedural languages, as seen in most other DBs (Oracle's PLSQL, PostgreSQL PLpgSQL/plperl/pltcl/plpython, DB2's SQL PL, etc.). If you want them you have to use bleeding edge :) MySQL version 5.0 or later (see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/stored-procedures.html). Haven't used it though.
