Well, mySQL is a bunch of.. er.. smelly stuff. If you honestly need an
Open Source rdbms (i.e. as in access to db core engine source code),
use Firebird.
If you need a -proper- database that is not only free, but is part of
the leading technical database product suite on this planet, get
Oracle XE.
With Oracle XE you have a 5 user license, single CPU and 4GB db
capability. It comes with HTMLDB which is a full blown web development
system that only needs a web browser for developers to do their thing.
(think of Microsoft Access on steroids, running via the web).
And Oracle XE works out-of-the-rpm on Ubuntu. And is -totally- free.
