I wouldn't worry too much about the programming-language specifics of
running SQL queries, because the query itself should be doing most of
the work, with the app just formatting/validating the input and
output. If you ever find yourself grabbing data from a db then using
more than one or two if statements or loops, you should consider
moving the effort into the SQL statement itself.

So, for learning the basics of SQL queries, you can use a basic L/WAMP
setup with phpmyadmin running, and build some queries and see what
happens.
