Free-ish :-)
No graphical IDE-type tools :-|
Nice but incomplete implementation of SQL language (no subselects or
stored procs) with some useful web-oriented extensions :-|
No support for transactional integrity :-| You might or might not care
about this, see http://openacs.org/philosophy/why-not-mysql.html for a
tedious & acrimonious holy war on this subject
Blisteringly fast for read-only access :-)
Overall you will probably be less productive with MySQL than either
of the other two - to what extent, depends on how much you like to use
the M$ visual tools as opposed to being a hardcore SQL programmer.
Your site will be better off using MySQL than Access. If you have
a lot of update transaction volume, SQL Server is the only serious
DBMS of the three. But if it's mostly read-only access, MySQL will
stand up well. I've developed using the Windows version but only
deployed on Linux so I'm not sure if this holds true for both.
