Also, I run MySQL here on charybdis, and more than one of us has done some
development with it, so you know people who can perhaps answer questions

Maybe I'll start with this since currently I want to do a simple task. I don't really have much specific use for a database right now, I want to learn how to use one for my own future benefit. Oracle does indeed have good potential for high monetary earnings, though... :)
