I haven't heard this mentioned, so... As a free alternative to MySQL, I'd
like to suggest PostgreSQL.  It is slightly more robust and -- although it
lacks a couple nice features found in MySQL -- it supports a lot of
features that MySQL does not (transactions, views, triggers, etc).

I'd feel more comfortable deploying a high-traffic site with Postgres than
MySQL, if only because it's benchmark numbers seem to be slightly higher.
