No need to download anything: Solaris ships with Postgres and
MySQL "in the box". :-)

PostgreSQL is the one that's actually bundled into Solaris.

Sqlite 2.8 is available in Sol10 as /lib/svc/bin/sqlite

Good advice.

Umm, Postgres *is* PostgreSQL (the former being a common
abbreviation for the latter)! Being SQL-compliant is one
of the reasons why I recommend it over MySQL...

Just type it in, or learn a scripting language like PHP.

Read a book on SQL and database programming.

But as it's Xmas, here's a snippet:

create table people
(
id serial,
name varchar (128) not null.
age int not null,
primary key (id)
);

insert into people (name, age) values values ('Rich Teer', 40);

HTH,

I think you have to read up on SQL and what a database is first.
Take a look here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

The /usr/sfw/bin/mysql command lets you log into the database engine and
start running SQL code. If you have the code in a file 'sql1001' then
inside the database you can do like this:
