That's not much to go on when asking for a recommendation.
The obvious choices on fedora will be MySQL and postgresql
and between those, postgresql follows the sql standards
more closely and has a less restrictive license.  Mysql
might be slightly faster if your usage is mostly read-only.

You'll also need client side tools.  Perl/php/java are
often used for web access and there are some generic
frameworks available.  Openoffice/base could be used
for something more interactive.
