IMO mysql is a great database to learn the basics on, and to use for your

Oracle!
eeek!

they run Oracle Financials at work and they are seriously considering a
cluster of cheapish (approx $15k) pizza box servers running Redhat
instead of an approx $140k Sun Box.
This gives you an idea of the scale that Oracle is at home with.
And incidentally there are many who say that Oracle Financials is still
overpowered for our little University.
