MySQL
MySQL is one of the most powerful SQL servers and its free.
Some features of MySQL Include: Handling large databases, around 50,000,000+ records. No memory leaks. Tested with a commercial memory leakage detector (purify). A very flexible and secure privilege and password system, which allows host-based verification. All password traffic when connecting to a server is encrypted.
MySQL supports most of the functionality you would come to expect in a commercial RDBMS. It ensures that transactions comply with the ACID Model, allows the building of indexes, supports standard data types, and allows for database replication, among other features.
One major area where MySQL used to fall short was its lack of support for stored procedures and triggers. However, both of these features are supported in MySQL 5.0.
MySQL meshes perfectly with the Perl Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) the dynamic web development language.
All of the hosting companies above include fully configured MySQL and tools as standard in their hosting packages.
