SQL / PL/SQL / DB Book

HI,
I've just bought an excellent book called "PHP and MySQL Web Development" and its great to learn and improve skills in that area. What I'm looking for now is a book that will tteach me database development. There are several choices and I can't decide what to pick to learn. Obviously i'm learning MySQL with the book I just bought and I know Access really well but the biggger guys like Oracle I don't know much about. I'm a small busainess owner who offers web and DB development to small to mid sized companies. So keeping that in mind could anyone recommend a good database development book?
THanks for your opinions / suggestions.
sandberg

If you deal with small companies than stay with sqlserver or something like that. Oracle and Oracle DBA's are kind of expensive (Although Oracle 10G has a version for small businesses competitively priced with sqlserver but there's still the DBA factor).

Go to bn and buy a most colorful sqlserver book.
