Start from M$-Access if you want to know about databases,and also you should learn SQL as you learn more inorder that you can define and use your data,then you can go with MySQL or anything else.
And as you knew java,then you can find a good API or anything like this to start programming database applications.
Scripting languages are lanaguages that are not being compiled by a compiler,instead they're being interpreted using an interpreter.And it depends on what platform you are using means you want to write scripts for web-pages then you should use php,asp,java-script,vb-script,... and so on.
tell me if you want to know more.
Good luck.

You can use php and mysql to build your database driven site.
Or you can use asp(.net) with ADO(.net) object to build your database driven site.

For starting with php i suggest to use a manual on php and to use WAMP SERVER or XAMP server.

you can start learning mysql. It is freely avalable from net for both windows as well as linux.

This is the official site for mysql. They have a very good documentation.

They have provided APIs that can be called form programs to make interactions with database.
