Which db is good for 64bit cygwin on windows7

[bajajv]

Hi,

I have 64-bit windows 7 and have installed 64-bit cygwin on it. I need a database which I can connect to from my c++ programs in cygwin.

I downloaded Oracle 11g Express Edition. But later read in documentation that it can't run on 64 bit windows.

Is there any free database distribution which can be used for study purpose on 64-bit windows 7 and cygwin for C++/Python programs?

Thanks.

SQLITE (see: http://www.sqlite.org)
MySQL (see http://www.mysql.com)
postgreSQL (see: http://www.postgresql.org)
