There is a lite/free version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I think it was called "Express Edition". Well, I can not remember much of the software since we used it in my database class for the sake of having a good feel of different structured query language programs. You can download that via Microsoft's Website if you have a Genuine Copy of Windows(Not sure as of now).

And I have never tested if it will go beyond 256 columns. But most database tools for servers out there should THEORETICALLY support far more than 256 columns considering these software handle many many loads of data in real life applications.
