Answer 1) You can use any database to which you have access. Many
languages (e.g. perl) provide an abstraction layer so that changing the
database program is easy.

Answer 2) You can use either one, or install others, e.g. sqlite3.

Suggestion: The administrative overhead is much less with sqlite3, so
it is excellent for proof-of-concept programming. Depending on your
requirements you can decide later whether to move to a heavyweight
database.

There are also non-SQL databases, but I have no advice there.
