Which language should be used in conjunction with MySQL?

Question

I have no experience with databases and you want to start working with MySQL. I often saw how it combined with Php and other languages. Which language should be used in conjunction with MySQL? Currently, I am most familiar with Java, but I really want to learn a new language that works well with MySQL.

Answer 1

Almost any language is fine. Choose your own language depending on what you want to do.

If you're just building programs to find out how DB works, consider languages ​​that don't need a lot of glue code. Candidates: C #, python, perl, ruby, php, Java. C ++ has too much gluing code to be a good choice for use as a DB learning language.

Sticking to Java, as you already know, is a great choice.
