I like sapdb (http://sapdb.org/) it is really complete it has even stored
procedures, just compare download sizes:

Sapdb for Linux 46 Mb
mysql for linux 12 mb


mysql does not support views, subqueries, referencial intintegrity (i don't
know if in english is called in this way, "integridad referencial" in
spanish)... 

I recommend you to see the specifications and features of each database and
then make a choose.

I really like MySQL,it is especially made wasy with phpMyAdmin, which
will also show you the SQL syntax as well as making administration
easier.
