berkley db and sqlite are the most popular. sqlite supports SQL, while berkley db (AFAIK) does not.

Peter,
doesn't it depend on what you are coding ? If you are working in c++ I would say look at postgreSQL. Far as I know the Professional version cost the same as the community version.

Both are capable databases.The difference between them is the cost of professional developement. MySQL can be more expensive to develope. Like I said earlier it really depends on what you intend to accomplish.
