MySQL

Description

Open source multi-platform SQL compatible, multi user database. Although it lacks strong transaction and data integrity capabilities and despite long standing corruption problems with Unicode and other codepages larger than 256 characters it has become a standard for database use on the web.

Has been forked by one of the original authors into a product called MariaDB.
