sybase
oracle
DB2 UDB
MySQL

All of then are free for development/testing.

Sybase, Oracle and DB2 you only have to pay when you deploy your app.

You can download either of them from their respective websites.

Sorry - ignore last message, searching the microsoft site, came up with nothing.... but googling worked.

What do you guys think about me using SQL 2005 express?? would this do what i require?

Cheers

Sybase uses Transact-SQL also.

You can probably use it together with the link mentioned before.

I wouldn't practice with SQL Server 2005 Express. It's a beta...so if you are new, you would want to practice on something that is in release.

You can also practice on the web at this site:

http://www.sqlcourse.com/

But that is probably going to be more ANSI SQL than vendor specific.

if you want the ability to practice sql online, here are a couple more sites:
