C and C++, then you can look at OO scripting languages like Python
(which I personally love coming from a COBOL background).  There are the
free databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL (the later being far more
scalable and robust), then there is Oracle and DB2.  You can grab Python
(www.python.org) and PostgreSQL (www.postgresql.org) for free and get
yourself familiar.
