MySQL is free for many--but not all--uses (check the license at
www.mysql.com).
MySQL has most of the features you'll need but is still missing some
biggies (sub-queries, triggers, etc.). Some of these features will be
implemented in forthcoming versions of the software. Read more about
this at www.mysql.com.
MySQL is pretty easy to use. Read the tutorial that comes with the
manual at www.mysql.com.
> MySQL can help me do what or not?
Well, you haven't said what you want to do but I suspect MySQL can
help. Why don't you head over to www.mysql.com to get a better feel for
it?
Best wishes,

PS There are many books on MySQL available, should you be interested,
as well as numerous mailing lists dedicated to MySQL. You can find out
more about these at (you guessed it) www.mysql.com.
