Can we use mysql with MS SharePoint 2010

We are trying to configure SharePoint 2010. We realized that SQL Server license for SharePoint is very costly. We are now evaluating other options for SQL server. We would like to know whether we can use MySQL with SharePoint 2010. I appreciate your response.

Why not install SQL Server Express R2? That is free. See: http://sergeluca.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/with-sharepoint-foundation-2010-use-sql-server-2008-express-r2/ (So that's an option if you're not storing many documents.)

Alternatively, look at processor licensing, as that is much cheaper then per user licensing. (Generally).

I doubt you need SQL Server Enterprise edition, so look at the Standard edition licence costs.

Not as the back end for Content databases. Only SQL server is supported.
