Answer 5

If you are on a windows operating system I would go here
http://www.microsoft.com/express
Get the visual studio express tools, which allows you to develop Visual Basic, C#, C++ applications
Once you have those tools, at the same link get the SQLServer express and install. All express items are FREE and from Microsoft
If you are a student, you can get more cool tools from dreamspark.com, which is by Microsoft too.

On Linux fedora, open a terminal and type
yum install mysql
On Ubuntu, type
apt-get install mysql

Answer 6

I'd recommend going with MySQL or xampp (which uses MySQL). It really depends on what you're wanting to do with it. A relational database might not even be best suited for your needs.

Answer 7

Oracle 10g is recommended.It is a relational database and easy to use.
