 Free SQL software with interface to enter data
Hi, I need to enter about 5000 lines of data with about 10 columns. and then i would query the data (by lets say sql, but i am open to suggestions). Can anyone recommend a simple freeware to use. My queries would be like ordering the data based on certain column, or getting to view only that data for which certain column matches my criteria. Long time ago i did use MS Access and could input simple sql queries and was pretty happy with it. On my pc i dont have license to use it.

Software/Hardware used:
on windows-7 or vista

Answer Wiki:
You could use <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice's</a> Base. Base is similar to Access, but is free. Here's a guide in case you decide to use it: <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/3/3c/0108GS33-GettingStartedWithBase.pdf">Getting Started with Base (OpenOffice.org’s Database Component)</a> (PDF)

From your description, I would think Excel (or the OpenOffice spreadsheet equivalent, which is free) would suffice.

You could also get the free SQL*Server Express product or the free Oracle 10 Express Edition. These are free downloads from Microsoft and Oracle.
