Best Database / way to store data

Pretty much what the title states, for a project i need to make some game (won’t need to try very hard, the others are using delphi) but it has to be able to store and recall data… ie… names, scores, details etc…

Others in the class are using MS access, is that the best prog to use? Or whats mySQL? I’ve looked at the different ways of doing this, but just wanted some input from those of you with this sorta experience under your belt and can help out.

Any suggestions are welcome

thanks
