If you want to learn about databases (Oracle, Access, SQL Server, whatever), I *always* recommend that you first learn what databases can and cannot do. Then I recommend buying a copy of "The Practical SQL Handbook". It comes with a CD containing a personal copy of mySQL and a user interface. With those tools the book will teach you the basics about building good databases and queries. Those principles will apply to any database and help you better understand the particular database you want to work with.
