I think mysql-server is in Fedora's repos - don't use Fedora myself so not sure though.
If you're downloading, choose MySQL Community Server 5.5.14.

Hello Asif,

MySQL is present in fedora repo. You can install it easily.

1. Use yum to install both mysql command line tool and the server

yum -y install mysql mysql-server

2. Enable the MySQL service: /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on

3. Start the MySQL server: /sbin/service mysqld start

4. Set the MySQL root password: mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' (The quotes around the new password are required.)

Thanks

As a side note, there is no data size limit on MySQL even the free OSS edition like there is with MS SQL server express.
