There is also an internal way to do so, if you're talking about a local
wiki that you have shell access to, and not a live WMF wiki,
instructions are here:

I wannt to insert an article into the Mysql database without clicking the
frontend. Is it possible and how?

It is not possible to insert pages directly into the database, but
there are many tools which can be used to automatically load pages
into the database via the front end.
For example, this is what I usually use:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pagefromfile.py
from the framework called "pywikipediabot"
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot
You do not need python skills to be able to run that script, and I can
give you more detailed instructions if you want to go down this path.
