MySQL database: lua or python

Question

Under preferences(Menu)/general (Tab)/ Interactive GRT Shell Language: lua or python.

What is the difference?

I use MyQSL for database and involve mostly binary.

Answer 1

mysql is a database server -- it doesn't have a menu. I think you mean mysql workbench which is a visual database design tool. That option allows you to use lua scripting or python scripting to help you on the design of your database -- it is unrelated to what happens on the mysql server. There are some examples on usage of the scripting provided by mysql workbench here.
