if the db you are interested in connecting to has a JDBC driver, it will probably work.
here are the instructions:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.0.6/DeployDBX/DefineanewDB

of particular interest: Note: At a minimum, Splunk DB Connect supports querying custom-defined database connections. For some custom database connections, features related to generation of queries may not work. Additionally, depending on the JDBC driver's implementation of database-metadata, the custom dbinfo search command may not work.

According to the app's readme :
http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/50803/splunk-db-connect

The Supported DBMS are

  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Sybase
  • PostgreSQL
  • SQLite
  • H2
  • HyperSQL
  • Generic ODBC support

so your mysterious Mysql express is not listed, but MYSQL and MSSQL are.
