simplyme asked:


Oracle, MS SQL Server (with Transact SQL), or some smaller vendor’s database such as mySQL? Or even MS Access?

Oracle has the largest market share and it runs on multi-platforms. MS SQL is limited to MS Windows even though there’s some movement to make it run on non-MS Windows platform. It’s also easier to learn than Oracle.
MS Access doesn’t seem to be a marketable skill, even though most of small databases are in Access at most companies.

What do you think is the best database software to get a job in database industry? I have field experience only with Access and Membership Plus.
