Yes, learning DBMS is important in today's industry. Everything that deals with information goes through a database. Oracle is very popular so learn Oracle. The other database languages are similar.

Why r u bothering abt this in ur 2nd year? Concentrate on your current subjects. Participate in extra activities. These things will help you in interviews and to look your resume good. ORACLE is just one of the billions part that IT industry has. Try to improve your personal skills now. And preparing for IT industry just make sure that whatever you are studying, the concepts are clear.

There are so many languages such out there, its impossible to really know what to have in order to "survive". The languages are transient for the most part. You learn one, and as soon as you learn it its no longer really in demand, leaving you no better than where you started off.
This happened a few years back with COBOL. I've seen now where VB6 programmers are in high demand, since its becoming legacy.
It is always good to have knowledge of any database language, if for nothing else than understanding database structure. MySQL and MS SQL, I have seen, are the more popular databases used out there. MySQL + PHP is by far what I've seen the most, and where I'm directing my path.

Is it necessary? No. But it is useful. Are you studying any RDBMS? Are you using SQL? If you are, Oracle is simple. If you want to get involved in a more technical way as an administrator, there is more work to do but with your background it shouldn't be difficult.
