What database management system is most widely used and what books are recommended to learn?

I know very little about database systems, but would like to learn more. I would imagine Oracle databases are most widely used in the corporate world, but I am not sure. If you were to recommend a database management system to learn that would allow me to learn beneficial skills directly applicable in the corporate world, which database management system would you recommend learning and which books would be a good place to start? Perhaps recommend, a good intro book, intermediate book and advanced book if you can. Thanks.What database management system is most widely used and what books are recommended to learn?
Oracle ( http://www.tdan.com/view-articles/15299 ) with 48.1 % market share

there are quite expensive courses from Oracle (called Oracle University)

or the whole documentation is available online

( http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.a鈥?/a> )

you can download and install freely the databases from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/databa鈥?/a> (you need to accept the license agreement right under the title of the page)

the 2 days DBA book can easily take more then 2 days, up to a little week for a totally novice DBA depending on how intensively you work



good luck!
