Gotta disagree with you...
Per the [link|http://www.microsoft.com/office/howtobuy/choosing.asp|Microsoft Office website] XP Office Professional does come with Abcess. Thought I'd check since I have to use Access here and had Office Pro loaded.

Maybe they didn't install it?
I thought that Access came as part of Office Pro, but maybe they did a custom install and didn't install it?

I know I'm gonna get flame for this.
But, you might try MSDE (same Sql engine as MS Sql Server, but limited to 5 concurrent connections and 2 Gig databases).
[link|http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/development/2000/MSDE2000.asp|MSDE 2000 Info]
The advantage to using MSDE is that the databases that you create are 100% compatible (i.e. you can "detachdb" and "attachdb" the databases to a full-blown Sql Server install w/out modifying anything in the database). So, if you know you're going to have to eventually use the full-blown MS Sql Server product, none of your work will be lost. And, MSDE is free.

(It's also the same codebase as SQL Server)
With the caveat that you have to patch it with the same patches, otherwise...
Worms suck.
After 9/11, Bush made two statements:
1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."
Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Picky.
You don't like writing Sql scripts by hand?
I should have mentioned that. I guess I left it off because I've had Enterprise Manager already installed for other servers.

It can make a big difference
as Enterprise manager can find your mistakes, and writing a SQL Script by hand more than likely won't until you go to run it. Typos and things like that.
It can be done by hand, or even Visual BASIC 6.0 has some SQL Server tools in it. Which is why MSDE 2000 has a license for use with VIsual Studio 6.0 because of the SQL Tools in it.
Still maybe FIrebird has an IDE Interface for it somewhere? I haven't found one yet, I downloaded the Firebird database, but I hadn't had time to figure it out yet without some GUI to guide me. I need error checking to work out my typos.

OOo has some basic DB connection/query tools
Supports ODBC, JDBC connections.
I haven't tried it on Windows, though.

Is that OO as in Open Office?
Otherwise I am not sure what you are talking about?

Indeed it is OpenOffice.org
Sorry, I guess I was trying to be all hacker-y and elite. (or should I say L33T!)

Thank you for remaining among the non-idiots.
BTW OpenOffice is not bad, from a cursory first inspection. It handles Word 97 documents pretty well. A major drawback for me is that the vaunted Linux still mostly has extremely shitty applications, in particular, the equation editors are horrible (I utterly refuse to deal with something as insane as TeX).

MSDE 2000 is on the Office XP Pro CD
in the \\MSDE\\ directory.
Only disadvantage is that you don't have Enterprise Manager to administer it unless you also have the SQL Server 2000 CD to load it with as part of the client and administrator tools.
