You probably don't want to pay any money to learn, so you have several options.
mSQL - basically a hobbyist database, as I see it. I see no reason for using it.
MySQL - very fast and stable, at the sacrifice of some features. Most you won't need, some (like subselects) are very useful and should be incorperated soon.
Postgress - more features than MySQL, not as fast.
Sybase - I don't have any experience with it
Oracle - free linux download, costs $$$ to deploy it.
Most people go with MySQL because it's fast and free. O'Reilly will be coming out with a MySQL/mSQL book soon which would probably be a great help.
