I have information that needs to be in a database but I don't have database software like Oracle or Access. Is there free database software available to create databases? Assuming I had the database I would need to manipulate it as far as sorting. I thought PHP might be a good way to go. Please give me a summary on what I need to do where to begin. An example of what I'm talking about can viewed here at the link below.

http://www.mysql.com and http://www.postgresql.org are 2 popular ones used with PHP. There's also http://sqlite.org/ for a 'lighter' solution (also see http://php.net/sqlite)
