One option is Python with Numpy and MySQLdb. I find Python to be much
more pleasant than Octave for a large programming project with lots of
moving parts:

For visualising your data, you can use matplotlib, which has an
Octave-like syntax.

If you really want to use Octave, you could still use Python, by
hooking it up with Pytave:
