Hi all,
I wanted to know if there is any system which allow me to create my own tables and execute query on those tables? I want these because I don't have any database installed on my office computer and I want to practice queries in my free time.

A: 

[The following answer largely assumes you are using Windows.]

For a very quick-n-dirty sandbox, try SQLite. It comes with sqlite3.exe (see the Precompiled Binaries For Windows section), which lets you create tables and run queries over them from the command-line.

SQLite's dialect of SQL is a bit strange due to its dynamic typing model, so you might get more mileage from installing a more conventional database like PostgreSQL, though it is more involved than SQLite's "installation", which amounts to extracting the .exe file and sticking it somewhere on your path.

Yes, I am using Windows. But, I don't want to install any dbms.

@Himadri: sqlite3.exe is a completely self-contained program that provides a convenient database command-line. It is literally a single file that you can just copy onto your computer and run, without any installation process. See [here](http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html) for more information and a quick tutorial. It will take you five minutes to download it, run it, and decide for yourself whether it does what you want.

There is one online query execution tool provided by w3cshcools

I got this answer after asking a question in this forum.
