I want to make a simple script that periodically performs SNMP GET and stores the output to MySQL database. It will be running on Windows.

What would be the least painful choice of programming language to write it in? Powershell, Java, …?

Python has SNMP (i.e. NET-SNMP) bindings. It will handle MySQL database as well. In that way you may use those APIs to create your own scanning application with SNMP communication channel and MySQL database storage of collected data. Of course there are tons of other solutions/combinations possible... however I recommend this one, because in such a simple case you don't have to engage heavy JVM.

Python has SNMP(Net-SNMP) binding and it's better that you can use RRD database to store output as it consists time interval itself.Python has RRD api also and you can handle easily
