Why learn mySQL?

This has arisen out of a setback when when trying to analyse MediaWiki Recent Changes data.
It would be much better in the long run to set up my own saved queries which directly interrogate the MySQL database and provide me with the analysis I require.
My web hosting service provides a web interface to MySQL and I have had some previous experience with Oracle SQL so it’s a realistic goal.
Interesting that when I added ‘learn MySQL’ as a goal on 43 things I was told “3 people are willing to help you with this goal. Read their advice or ask them a question.”
