Two things stroke me as odd about your posting: first, Websphere is not a database - why do you mention it in that list?

Second, you write you are starting up a company and at the same time want to learn (for free) from a community. There seems to be a slight contradiction in there, if you have to built up knowledge that should probably considered an investment similar to hardware you have to buy.

Kind regards
