What Database to use?

[onqate]

I've been working my way through the tutorial supplied with UltraDev (the ASP one)
I see the database file with the lessons are in MS Access. I haven't got this program, though I do have Excel. Is there a cheap or even better, a free piece of software similar to Access? Or how do I write tables in Excel similar to Access? I have spent ages tring to get it to work the way the Access files do. Its not a dB connection problem. I can connect to an excel file fine. But I would like to be open the Access files. Any advice?

The best and the most comforting database is mysql. I have been working on this database for like 2 years and has worked on many. But i find MySQL to be the best database ever.

A database consists of an organized collection of data for one or more multiple uses.
Databases consist of software-based "containers" that are structured to collect and store information so users can retrieve, add, update or remove such information in an automatic fashion.
Database programs are designed for users so that they can add or delete any information needed.
The structure of a database is tabular, consisting of rows and columns of information.
