You should first decide what dbms you are going to use (Access, mySQL, etc), then go through their tutorials (so you familiarize yourself with their idiosyncracies). Next learn SQL (through a book preferably). Finally, learn the language -- usually asp or php -- that will deliver the database's data to the web (if that's where you want it to go).
Besides the tutorial roBofh mentioned, there is one at sitepoint (for php & mySQL) and probably a thousand of them for ASP at msdn.microsoft.com/workshop , http://www.freeASP.com and other asp sites. But realize: these sites & tutorials assume you already know databases and sql

Personally, I like the tutorials on http://www.devshed.com, even if they don't really mention any DB's other than MySQL.
