Thanks in advance,

Is your main problem sql or emacs sql mode?

If the former I suggest starting with sqlite and sqlite manager plugin
for firefox.

If the latter you need to ask more specific questions.
[Disclaimer: Ive never used sql mode]

I think that Giulio Petrucci ask for tutor which modes
support SQL, how connect from Emacs to different DB,
how about completition of table/field names or
viewing existing tables in DB.

There many Enterprise solution like "Aqua Data Studio".
That Emacs can oppose to?

Why?

mysql is a perfectly straightforward reasonable rdbms.

You also get phpmyadmin to play with in the browser.

sql mode is pretty straightforward and basic.

Don't expect an awful lot other than an emacs front end to mysql.

Start it and then do a "C-h m" to see local sql bindings. Dont expect
things like field completion (afaik - and willing to be corrected!) or
smart query construction, data browsing  or join help etc. 

I use it all the time simply as its in emacs.

regards

r.

As for the merits of mysql vs sqlite Ive nothing to say -- they are
quite different things.
My point was about emacs-sql-mode vs firefox-sqlite-manager.
Here youve answered yourself:

The sqlite-manager plugin is sufficiently visual that it can be
helpful even to someone who knows sql
