My recommendation would be mysql (http://www.tcx.se).  It implements
an important subset of the SQL-92 standard, and has proven to be very
reliable and speedier than the others I've tried.

That's very much a religious issue.  If I wasn't using mysql, I'd
probably be using postgreSQL - I've been pretty happy with it too.
