I am a beginner in databases. What edition of sql server i should start with?
Next the project i have to work on is a simple project and needs a small database.
i downloaded the SQL server 2005 express edition from microsoft's site and installed it. It showed me SQL server configuration manager , SQL server surface area configuration and sql server error and usage reporting.
i dont know what to install further to get the interface of creating tables, running my queries and producing my database?
When you start learning something new, I can assure you nothing is urgent. It will take many days (years, in fact) until you have the knowledge you seek.
Right now, get the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services along with the SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio Express. This contains a management tool that allows you to create tables and run queries.
You can download SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage your databases.

SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 how to import SQL Server 2012's database?
You can't Restore from newer versions. But you can script the original database (schema and data), and run the scripts in the target database. Make sure you script using the correct compatibility level.
See my step-by-step description on my blog.

What are the tools that provides a function to visualize SQL Server Stored procedures?
If you mean, editing or creating them, SQL Server Management Studio will allow you to do this, and comes with SQL Server. SSMS will also allow you to debug stored procedures. Visual Studio, with SSDT (SQL Server Development Tools) installed, will allow you to do this too, and actually does a much better job of allowing you to debug stored procs. Debugging stored procs in SSMS has always been problematic for me.
SSDT can be installed for VS 2010 or VS 2012. In fact, you don't even need to own Visual Studio to install SSDT. If you install it without VS, it will install a VS shell, and allow you to execute the full functionality of SSDT, without having Visual Studio installed.

So, I have a .sql file that I have downloaded and was wondering how I connect to it via sql developer which I have also downloaded. Do I need to create a connection with hostname and port etc? can I just connect to a file manually/directly or something?
Also, can anyone recommend a good database to practice/learn on for a beginner? Should I just download oracle 11g and play around with that?
Thanks.
You cannot connect to a .sql file because it is not a database. Oracle runs as a server in its own right. If you do not already have access to a server then you will need to get one.
Fortunately, Oracle publishes a server you can use free of charge that will help get you into the swing of things. Have a look at Oracle Lite
I think you might find it quite a challenge getting yourself set up with a development environment but if you are patient and determined you can get there. Once you have a server to play with you can start to experiment with Sql, which is the language you use to interrogate the database.
Best of luck.
You'll need the SID as well as the ip address and port number (typically 1521) that tns listener is listening on.
Once you've connected, you'll be able to run your sql file against that database.
And yes, it would be a good idea to have a good understanding of Oracle before wandering off blindly into the world of database access (.sql files, for example)

InnoDB Storage Engine Dropped From Oracle MySQL Classic Edition? What does this mean for the average developer who uses mysql or shall we start looking for alternatives?
http://digitizor.com/2010/11/05/innodb-dropped-from-oracle-mysql-classic-edition/
Thanks in advance ;-)
Just trying to understand what this really means?
People that you refer to use Community Edition. And nothing is changing about it.
About Classic Edition:
MySQL Classic Edition is only available to ISVs, OEMs and VARs to license as an embedded database.
I doubt that you used it.
Classic Edition is a build of MySQL that is embeddable into applications, rather than a stand-alone server application. It has never included the InnoDB storage engine.
Community Edition is the version of MySQL I would assume most people care about/are using/it's the open source version. It still includes InnoDB.
The classic addition is listed as appropriate for embedded applications, and it's meant to be as small as possible. The cost listed there is if you want the support subscription, and they do not offer support for the classic edition.

What is the Difference between SQL and SQL*Plus?
SQL* Plus is a command line tool proprietary to Oracle. You can send SQL queries to the server using the tool. It can also help you format the result of a query.
You should get a good head start on SQL*Plus here http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~ooibc/courses/sql/sqlplus.htm
SQL is the query language that is used to communicate with Oracle server to access and modify the data.
cheers
SQL is a language, SQL*Plus is a tool.
SQL*Plus is an Oracle product that you use to run SQL and PL/SQL statements.
SQLPlus, the primary interface to the Oracle Database server, provides a powerful yet easy-to-use environment for querying, defining, and controlling data. SQLPlus delivers a full implementation of Oracle SQL and PL/SQL, along with a rich set of extensions.
