For my two cents I am fairly database illiterate the only thing I have read a decent amount about is normalisation of data. I am using sequel and Mysql, I chose Mysql because it was popular wide range of documnetation and community support but mostly it has the MySQL workbench which will allow me to see graphically what i am doing which being a beginner and only having used Access 2000 & 2007 prior was a plus.You can turn networking off in MySQL setup to setup a single developer PC easily. There is also a very helpful sequel group if your having any issues http://groups.google.com/group/sequel-talk and again enough docs for a beginner here http://sequel.rubyforge.org/ I am a database no nothing and sequel and mysql work for me. And because its fairly easy I am learning more..
