Without wanting to start a toolsize war, another alternative is
PostgresQL, which is free and is fast and very powerful.

Here's a real-world performance comparison done by Tim Perdue of

It's a bit old now - both MySQL and PostgresQL have

One big issue is native Windows support.  That's starting to
come out now:
