JDK 1.6 and above ship with a default pure Java database called as "JavaDB". Is is based on the open source Apache Derby project.
By default, on a Windows platform JavaDB gets installed at "C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaDB".
Set the 'DERBY_HOME' system property to this path. Also put 'DERBY_HOME/bin' in the PATH property.
There is a good tutorial here that should get you up and running with JavaDB in 10-15 mins :)
Derby does not have a default GUI admin tool, but one can use many third-party tools such as SQuirrel and others. I think JavaDB provides a good alternative to MySQL for some scenarios.
