    MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry. (by MariaDB)

  • MariaDB [1] is a community developed fork of MySQL, so you can feel free to use that in place of MySQL.

    Another alternative would be Percona [2] which is a drop-in replacement for Oracle MySQL.

    About PostgreSQL I haven't had that much of personal experience with it, but for sure I plan to learn it, because it has been battle-tested for years with lots of well-known projects, such as Django framework, for instance.
