If your just interested in an easy paced method, and not something you need to master tomorrow. Look into www.ed2go.com They work with many of the community colleges and offer many 6 week Mini-classes. They are not college credit classes, but they are fairly inexpensive apx $95.00 A class.
I have taken a lot of these for fundamentals. The only thing I don't like, is when you want to do more, they only release the lessons twice a week, And you can't work ahead... The advantage is that the class is easy paced, and has an instructor (forum formatted for questions) that You can ask questions from, who will usually answer advanced questions that the course does not cover, just Because they can, not because they have to. George I was in the same boat. Also, If you don't apply it, it really makes it difficult. Setup a MySQL (WAMP) on A PC, and start playing with some database projects.

My knowledge of Sql extends slightly past the ability to spell it. If I could get some suggestions on some good venues to learn the query language for this new database, it would be appreciated. There are so many books and venues out there, it is difficult to separate the good from the bad from the ugly.
