I think that would be most productive, yes. Vincent originally asked
about "a free package that I can install at home to start to work with
SQL?" 

Wouldn't it be more helpful to know more about what Vincent means by
"work with SQL", specifically, his familiarity with SQL and more
broadly, his working knowledge of relational databases in general,
creating tables and normalizing data, etc, before making specific
suggestions? 

Granted, each RDBMS system varies a bit in its implementation of SQL,
and each has different strengths and weaknesses, but depending on
Vincent's needs and goals, worrying about such implementations details
may be putting the cart before the horse right now, or maybe exactly the
sort of information he is seeking?
