If you are talking about the default database, then it's HSQLDB. You can compare the two methods (hsqldb vs mysql) to make your own opinion, but I advise you to use mysql for production environment. If you choose to use mysql, don't forget to download the mysql-java connector and to move it into WEB-INF/lib directory in xwiki.
