Download it and run it:

http://www.mysql.com/

I've used it a bit, but I'm no sort of expert on it. The webpage has
tutorials, a downloadable executable, etc.

How do you know you need 20GB right now?

What do you mean by "data and query expansion"?

I cannot help wondering whether you really need such an enormous database
with a singel user.
Can you give us any hints as to what this database does?

Stephen,

I have a set of data with minimum of 10GB. I have tried breaking up the
data into multiple back-end Access databases. When I tried to run a query on
those data from a front-end Access database. I could not because Access is
limited to 2GB. The same is with SQL Express, and it limits to 4GB.

Thanks.
