I use Mysql with PHPMyadmin as the frontend.

I will give it a try. I must admit, I really hate, hate, hate this tendency to put "MyThis" and "MyThat" in so many products. It makes the product sound like a teenage girl's purse instead of a real piece of useful software. When I dset up users' XP and 2000 boxes, I have the 2000 interface, but rename the "My Network" and "My Computer" icons.

Or, check out the powerful, open source Firebird db and the excellent IB Expert (free for non-commercial use) tool for administration and development.

ODBC, JDBC, PHP, etc. drivers are available for Firebird, so nearly any programming tool (including Access) can be used for the user interface.

Hah! I do the same thing. The profusion of "My xx" just annoys the crap out of me.
