What specifically do you want to know? People write books about mySQL and other Database Management Systems. There's tons of info out there... I think repeating it here would be a bit of a waste. If you have questions about something though, I'd be happy to try and answer them, though I have limited experience with it.

MySQL is a free/open source Database System. Like Dan said there are giant books on the subject so specific questions / concerns might be better. It's used frequently on the web because it is free.

Alright:

Official website: http://www.mysql.com/
Download Link for free / community version of MySQL (Latest is V6.0): http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/6.0.html
Documentation for it: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/
PHP MySQL is a popular tool for managing the database over the web:

http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/ddws/index.html

If you search for MySQL Introduction, MySQL tutorials, PHP MySQL, etc you'll come back with lots of results.

If you're going to use it for a website you need to make sure your host gives you a MySQL database, free hosting is less likely to do this. Generally you will get 1 or 2 databases and a certain amount of database space / usage. Having a host that supports PHP as well is huge.
