Yes, but still it is much more complicated to configure on server side,
however I admit that it has much more functions also, by the way I used
it in database courses also, it's a quite widely used database system,
but I don't think it worth the time if you just plan a simple php page
with database access, for this purpose MySQL is better, as it is easy to
install (you just push a button and it's on your computer, after this
you only have to know SQL Table creating commands)

Jeni you mention oracle being more difficult to configure, In my
database course last year we used an online oracle database, Its free
to use and you must ensure no private or real sensative data is used
to populate the database.
Not sure if this would be of any use
http://apex.oracle.com
its free to use and to work with.

Well, naturally it isn't a virtual machine with already set up DB
systems can be useful, however for me it cause no problem to set
up a database, as for MySQL it only needs some basic SQL knowledge
and the using of apt/synaptic. But for example an Oracle server is
much more difficult to configure, it even needs an own oracle
system user who will be the database administrator. But in general
all database systems should be more or less equal, as they all use
SQL, unfortunatelly there are such differences as HSQL<->
Oracle(also MySQL), in HSQL you need to write table names like:
"Table1" in Oracle you can do it just saying table1 or even Table1
as SQL is originally not case sensitive except for string
constants. In HSQL I even noted that there is no C-like /* */
comment, if I am not wrong it exists in Oracle, however Oracle is
a quite extended SQL language, it contains an own programming
language called PL/SQL.

How can I quickly setup a database and query to test

I find setting up databases and configuring them a super pain
in the
ass, so much so that I have a fair number of bugs lingering
because I
can't motivate myself to struggle with configuring databases.
Personally, I think I would be tempted by something like a
virtual box
VDI pre-configured, installed and populated databases
images/appliances
Is this a stupid idea ?
