Out of the free/open ones: PostgreSQL and MySQL in that order.
Postgres is - as far as I know - the more professional and heavy-weight
of the two, altough MySQL might have easier tools.

You can have Oracle running on your Linux as well.

Hello evb,
As far the choice of database goes, you have a wide range to pick. The only
database that I have not seen a Linux port is MS Access and MS SQL Server. If
this is a comercial app and you are willing to spend money, go with either
Oracle or IBM DB2. If you want something for free but not as robust and
scallable, go with PostgreSQL or MySQL.

As far as data migration goes, you can either use MS Access or WinSQL
(http://www.indus-soft.com/winsql). I personally like WinSQL as it has lots of
cool features.

Thanks,
MM.
