    Best free DBMS for me is MySQL. You can get a free JDBC class for it.

    A lot of people like PostGreSQL too, but I don't know what kind of Java support there is for it.

    MySql for support and works well with java

    PostGreSQL if you want full outer joins(never used it so cant really vouch for it)

    Just on the whole MySQL thing....

    How close to ANSI-standard is its syntax?

    While no two DBs are ever quite the same, I found I could quickly apply my MSSQL-learned skills to Oracle & DB2.

    On the other hand, every time I look at some MySQL stuff, beyond the trivial, I have this feeling that its way different. Not better or worse...just way different. I also don't know how applicable it is to current implementations of the thing, but I've also heard so many responses to suggestions of generic ways to solve problems with "Oh, MySQL doesn't support <feature> yet"...stuff I would have thought was critical, like correlated sub-queries.
