Both are good, MySQL is single threaded and perfect for most web

Postgres is multi threaded and significantly faster, 
especially if you use a persistent connection.
BerkleyDB is also pretty incredible, but sometimes cryptic to work with.
You may want to discover Sybase 11.0.3, which is free for Linux even
