IBM's DB2 is excellent for database newbies and "casual" database users and administrators.I particularly like the "one-click install" and the stable GUI admin tool. The installation process is a LOT more painless than Oracle, and the database tunes itself more effectively. I didn't like the number of pre-install tasks when installing Oracle 8i, and I thought the installer was not as seamless as it should be.
Just my 2 cents

Oracle is expensive to buy, expensive to hire a DBA...
and well, in windows the installation is okay, but in linux is a real
nightmare... I took almost a week the first time (I wasn't a very
experienced linux user too)
I'm using postgresql with Java and I'm very satisfied, much more
"serious" than MySQL, just as free and have a good comunity. I heard
Hypersonic is very nice, but you shouldn't use it if you get lots of
data. You know, it's java... it eats memory :-)))
