Hm. Oracle is a good long-term choice, but if you don't have any experience
with SQL dbms's at all, you may want to start with something simpler. Oracle
is very complex, not well documented, and although the dbms itself is quite
solid, installation and support programs are quite buggy in my experience
(probably in part because of the number of platforms they support). My first
install of Oracle took 3 days and many calls to tech support. My first
install of SQL Server took 1/2 hour. My advice: learn the basic concepts on
SQL Server, then go to Oracle.
