If you want to stay with the MS product line, learn MSSQL and VC++. That is what we use to provide our clients the ability to handle thousands of transactions per hour and ~40GB of new data per day in a multiple server network.
Next time you come to Las Vegas, if you are playing in any of the major casinos, our system is taking care of you :)
I worked with Oracle, Java and J2EE on a previous project. They are all good, high demand skills to have, also.
IBM has a lot of tutorials and information about DB2 available, also.
