Hello,
I would like to start learning Java. I would like to programme database
application with web user interface.
Please help. What software and documentation should I install? (URLs?)
Should I choose Oracle or SQL Server?
Thank you very much!

If you're gonna start learning java, then I suggest you put off the
database-programming as well as
UI's.
Start with a simple hello world program, and then take some tutorials
(either from books or on-line).

Do you have any programming experience in another language?

install:
-linux(instead of MS-Windows)
-firefox(web browser instead of MS-internet explorer)
-emacs and/or eclipse
-java jdk and/or gcj
-openoffice and openoffice database(ms-access lookalike providing a gui
to construct tables, queries, views and reports)
-hsqldb(like Oracle and SQL server)(openoffice uses this internally and
you should use it via the java jdbc API).
-apache(actual web server)
-tomcat(java servlet engine. standalone or from within apache)

UTSL ;)
