Where to get free MySQL?

[yuppicide]

Anyone know where I can get a free MySQL database so I can start the learning process for myself?

I saw a post listed here for dbfree.net.. that post is old.. that takes you to IX Webhosting.

I signed up for db4free.net but when I goto login it says "Loading" on the web browser and never loads. I waited like 5 minutes. I came back and tried another time. I used Internet Exploer as well as Mozilla, no luck.

I also saw one more website, but signups are currently disabled and who knows when they'll be back.

I just want something I can fool around with to learn.

Update: db4free.net loads for me, just very very very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes everytime I click something. Not good for me specially since I'm new and don't totally know what I am doing so if I click the wrong thing I have to wait 5 mins.

Actually just using it again and it's not loading at all. Maybe his server is slammed with people using it.

I'm not sure where you can get free mySQL databases anymore. You could always try installing your own web server, and run mySQL on it.

EDIT - You could try some of the hosts listed here: http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-mysql-database.php

Thanks. Just might end up renting my own webspace when I get paid next. If the company likes the database once it's functional I'll send them the bill.
