No problems for "private use". For mSql license is:

==============================
Permission to use, copy and modify this software and its documentation,
is hereby granted to non-commercial entities without fee,
provided that this license information and copyright notice appear
in all copies.

A "non-commercial entity" is defined within the scope of this license as
an educational institution (excluding a commercial training organisation),
non-commercial research organisation, registered charity, registered
not-for-profit organisation, or full-time student.
==============================

For mySQL:

===============================
(a) Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment is
made in connection with such distribution,
===============================

But I don't like data-base: I always think to data-base programming
as remunerative work.
