Yes and No.  Sqlite takes less to configure and manage but you have to
consider your needs for concurrent processing.  If memory/disk space is
no object then I would stick to mysql.

If its learning SQL that you want, you should try postgres.  It has a
very
interesting "RULE" system that you can play with.
