MySQL is an excellent option is very well documented. It is also a defacto standard for OpenSource databases.
MySQL sucks for anything but very very basic stuff as it supports no transactions, foreign keys, procedures, triggers, concurrency, etc.
Postgresql is a lot better, free, and the psycopg adapter for Postgres is *very very* fast (a lot faster than the MySQL one) and it has a dictfetchall() method which is worth its weight in donuts !
MySQL has support for transactions and foreign keys in it's InnoDB engine. In 5.0 it supports views procedures. Some people seems to hate MySQL :-) but a whole lot of other people like it a lot.
The thing is, if you don't spesificaly state that you want triggers, concurrency and procedures I guess that your needs are quite basic.
However you won't be be disappointed with either MySQL or postgree in your trunk :)
