There are many choices of DB's. The most popular
freebies are MySql and Postgres. Most people seem
to choose mysql but postgres is a good choice if you
need things like referential integrity. Both are
included in Mandrake.
Commercial DB's like Oracle are also available on Linux.
As far as the API, choose your language. Many are using
php. Perl DBI/DBD is also a good choice. Most DB's would
have API's for most languages i.e.C, C++, python, java, etc.
