Hi there.

I am currently learning Java (yes I know, it was about time to get
started). The book I use shows SQL examples reading some small databases
(4 columns, 5 rows). All these Java database SQL primitives are meant to
work only on JDBC-ODBC compliant databases (it is a 1997 book!). The
Java JDBC today is probably less restrictive. But I'll stick with the
book's stuff for now.

The question is: are there FREE tools on Windows to create such
databases files (which I could use later on my trivial Java examples)?
Or does MsExcel save files in such a database format?

Thanks
