Well, Personally I would suggest you to go for MYSQL if you are working on some websites as its easy to handel MYSQL, u can also go for MS SQL Server but for that u have to configure the ODBC, which can be a tougher job for you.

MYSQL is free and open source so in all fields it is better than anyother database programs (when refered in terms of web and not for standalone applications)

You can indeed use mySQL for your ASP.NET Web applications. I would recommend you use mySQL because of its robustness and not to mention, that its open source and free. For more info on using ASP.NET with mySQL, refer here:
