Java\n\n"Oracle and Java can be one of the most robust combinations for ERP-related application development. Here's a look at which parts of Java are useful with Oracle 8i.\n\nBringing Oracle and Java together in your development environment gives you an exceptionally flexible and robust application development and data-handling infrastructure that fronts an excellent data management system and is easily extended in enterprise resource planning. On top of that, it’s extremely Internet-friendly, an increasingly important consideration.   "

The main database vendors in Microsoft, Oracle and IBM all now have a free express version of the database that can be downloaded and installed on a windows desktop.  I suggest you download and try it out for yourself.  It is difficult to get an independant opinion on the difference between each database as people will prefer the ones they are familiar with.\n\nAll three database types have relational tables, a simple SQL language, common objects such as procedures, indexes and triggers.  \n\nSQL Server used to be easier to install and administer but over time the three express versions are becoming easier to run so it is hard to seperate them.

Any programming language will do the job. If you can go for Java then you can work with a lot of SAP related Java work too.

Please clarify the type of programming... are you asking specifically about website development (e.g. HTML), or about languages such as C++?\n\nFor HTML, these are two excellent websites:\nhttp://www.htmldog.com\nhttp://www.htmlgoodies.com\n\nHere are superb C++ tutorials:\nhttp://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/\nhttp://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutorial/\n\nOn the other hand, if you are simply wondering what programming language you should learn, I would recommend Java or C++. Java programs will work on many operating systems. Here is a good article about choosing the right programming language for yourself:\nhttp://www.tgr.com/weblog/archives/000024.html

There is always ussable to learn Oracle, if it is completely necesary depends on what you want to learn about Oracle.\n\nIf you want to learn Oracle as a Database Administrator DBA - SQL is a complementary tool, altougth i believe it is not absolutely indispensable, since there exist many tools to do the administration tasks. (But if you take the DBA courses in Oracle, they will start with SQL, PL-SQL wich is the SQL of oracle).\n\nIf you want to learn Oracle as a Developer, if you are gonna be accessing the tables, and data from the tables to make calculation, or you are gonna develop forms to capture data, then it is absolutely necesary you to know SQL - PL-SQL. \n\nIn any case, learning SQL will always be usables, since the knowledge of the Standard SQL, you can use to work with almost any database, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Informix.\n\nThere is this site Oracle Technology Network, where you can find good information for capacitation. \n\nhttp://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html

SAP has its own and they do a better job than others.\n\nDont bother though. Why would you lock yourself into a proprietry language???? Stick with Java or open source in 5 years you will be even more in demand

YOu can familiarise yourself with the free versions of DB2 and Oracle express since they are two of the most popular after SQL Server.  You should also consider the other SQL Server products such as analysis services and SSIS as there is strong demand for people who know how to use them and they have free versions you can add to your SQL Server installation.

The software vendors that are writing popular ERP and other large business systems have selected Oracle as the background data store that they write their software to use.\n\nFor large data collections Oracle has many attributes that are important, such as ;\nscalability, consistency, concurrency, point-in-time recovery,multi platform availability  and a forward looking adoption policy for new technology.

Depends on what you want to be doing.  If you want to be working on hardware and deep internal software code, I'd suggest C (this will also help with javascript for the internet).  If you want to work with interface, you might want to look at Visual Basic (will also help with ASP for windows based internet servers).  PHP is also an up-and-comer in internet programming.

It will all depend on preference. I prefer SAP, since they are the leader in ERP systems and I think there might be kinks with Oracle if you wanted to expand your ERP system, since they are probably trying to implement Peoplesoft into their ERP bundle.

SAP for sure.  I've used it for years and love it.  I've never used Oracle and don't know anyone who has so you might not like my answer.  Larry(of Oracle) reminds me the old Steve Jobs at Apple(he had the mentality of build it better and the will pay thru the nose & we don't need help).  Apple survived but they almost killed themselves in the early days. You might be asking which product will win? & which will lose? - in the end.  Often it's not a matter of "better" but simply a matter of market penetration: MS Windows vs Apple, VHS vs Sony Beta, etc....\n\nSAP has the market and the users are all locked in they will not change, they have no choice(too big an investment), and they will push SAP to always met their needs and to grow so that license fees can be absorbed by more and more companies(users).

It's a matter of personal taste. For those who have a very strong database background, I would recommend iBatis. With it, you will *always* work with real SQL.\n\nOn the other hand, if you use hibernate, you can take an approach of writting code which will be portable amongst many databases.\n\nMy experience says that it is a lot easier for a company to change their application server or programming language than it is for them to change their database server (this may not be your case). So, writting unportable (but efficient) SQL code is not a sin.

ABAP since it is associated with JAVA and SQL as well. Therefore, you will learn SQL for business Database language, and JAVA which is integrated within SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. Associating multiple development languages will absolutely increase and improve your skills and strengths.

SQL Server .. is the host machine running a DB that uses SQL language as its DB language (concerning DB query and other related DB activities)\n\nSQL is an open source programming language that is used to create, manipulate, store, or quesry a database and it stands for the term (Structured Query Language) meaning it's an open source language -- that any company can use it without paying any charge in accordance with such use! .. yes just like the network protocol (TCP/IP) \n\nMany Large Database companies used this language to create a very powerful and flexiable database systems of course Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and many others have a very well known systems for example : Oracle applications, Microsoft SQL, DB2, sybase, mysql ... etc.\n\nWhat makes it special is that you feel you set the criteria of the data you want to retrive out of the database like you are talking our easy english language while typing the query! .. that really helped it to spread out so quickly and effeciently.\n\nAnd example that i am sure you used it at lest once .. when you are looking for something to get it downloaded to your computer using one of the free available search engins on the internet (like Yahoo, Webcrawler, Directhit, Google, etc..) the key word you type in the search blank is excatly the criteria that will be used to query Yahoo's or google's Very large DB that contains Millions of websites! so those Yahoo, and Google and any other search engins have large computer servers holding a very neat DB that contains the data (in this case the websites) these computer servers act as data warehouses .. and once you place what you are looking for .. their systems translate it into a simple query and the results page just shows what you have been looking for BASED ON WHAT YOU USED AS A KEY WORD .. so if you didn't get what you were looking for .. don't blaim those guys . just change your keywword and everything will be fine.

10g seems to be the latest greatest availible for download. Shouldn't be too different from 11i. To download the developer edition you have to create an account with Oracle's technet. It's free but takes about 10 mins to answer all the questions. I didn't bother to log in but there might be an 11g availible for registered users. Especially if you use Linux. Oracle tends to put the Linux versions out first.
