    MySQL is definitely the best choice for you to start, as it is…

    • free available
    • a defacto standard in combination with PHP
    • a good start for beginners
    • and yes, can handle a huge amount of data

    I’ve seen lots of companies and startups, which are using MySQL and handling tons of data. If you ran into performance issues later, you can care about it then, e.g. use a caching layer, optimize MySQL, etc.
