<p>Do you know any <strong>public</strong> scientific SQL server ?</p>

<p>for example, I would cite:</p>

<ul>
<li>UCSC    <a href='http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads#download29'>http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads#download29</a></li>
<li>ENSEMBL    <a href='http://uswest.ensembl.org/info/data/mysql.html'>http://uswest.ensembl.org/info/data/mysql.html</a></li>
<li>GO    <a href='http://www.geneontology.org/GO.database.shtml#mirrors'>http://www.geneontology.org/GO.database.shtml#mirrors</a></li>
</ul>

<p>(I'll give a +1 to each correct answer)</p>

Don't forget EnsEMBL's new US East MySQL mirror too:

    mysql -h useastdb.ensembl.org -u anonymous -P 5306

You can also run your own mirrors in the cloud http://www.ensembl.info/blog/2011/07/12/run-a-private-ensembl-mysql-in-the-cloud/ ;-)
