I haven't worked with Oracle, but I suspect it is quite complex (given the
fact that "Oracle DBA" is a valid job description nowadays, and the large
number of Oracle consultants around).
PostgreSQL is probably slightly more difficult to learn than MySQL, but it
is truely free and supports many more SQL / relational database
functionality (e.g. transactions). I suspect PHP's support for PostgreSQL
and MySQL is more or less comparable.
