IBM to offer DB2 Express for free
Download Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition here.
Download DB2 Universal Database Express Edition for Linux and Windows here.
Personally, I plan on giving both of them a go.

Cudos to both companies for providing these. Some people just don't need the HUGE power of the big brothers.I also use MySQL a lot, works quite well with PHP. And even SQLite. |

Yeah, I use MySQL with Perl and Java stuff.But I think these other things are worth looking into too. SQL server is actually quite good and easy to use. |

I guess this is better because free stuff is always good right? |

Good work on both of the companies parts. Hopefully it will work, and if not...nice try. |
