IBM has made their DB2 Express-C free (for anyone) and supports servers with up to 2 single core processors or 2 dual core processors and 4GB of memory (free license is by the processor, not by the core!).

Software Category: Database
Software Name: DB2 Express-C
Short Description: Free corporate quality database application.
Link: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/.../download.html
Support forum: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/fo...pa?forumID=805

This is a SQL compliant corporate database. The following architectures are supported: Windows 32 bit and 64 bit. Linux 32 bit and 64 bit.

Free Visual Studio add ons and IBM's Data Studio Development add ons are on the same link.

If you intend to go into Information Technology, you WILL come across this DB. Easy as MySQL, and totally ACID compliant.

I'd be lying if I said I'd never seen serious IT pros playing this in the office. Seriously good fun watching 30-50 yr. old men blast each other online in mutliplayer games! Even more fun watching them crash the Live Cd when the boss walks by.
