I use and enjoy MySQL. However, in EJB work, you may
need or want a dbms that supports transactions.
PostgreSQL is an full-featured open-source
alternative. Other databases that can be used more or
less for free include DBMaker (you need to buy a
license if you want more than four concurrent
connections), and I see that Borland/Inprise has just
gone open source with InterBase.
