Unless you really know what you’re doing MySQL is not what you want. You can easily convert it using File>Save As... to the default XML. Unless your computer has a tendency to crash a lot this is the safest option; if it does crash a lot SQLite3 combined with a good automatic backup system is safest. MySQL and Postgresql are suitable only for folks with experience running, administering, and especially backing up those servers.
