And, of course, my personal favorite combination:
http://www.perl.com/ + http://dbi.perl.org/ + DBD::mysql

Actually, the only one I've used was Perl+DBI+DBC::something.  With more

a query that gives you exactly the dataset you need without much need for
calculations afterwards.  (it's all about aggregate functions, subqueries
and set operations.)
