SE is a load-and-go database engine. OnLine is an OLTP database engine, in need of a DBA. ESQL/C is a development language, which allows SQL statements to be embedded in C code.

Take a look at the following courses: Relational Database Design Structured Query Language Using Stored Procedures and Triggers Developing Applications Using ESQL/C Standard Engine System Administration Managing and Optimising OnLine DS Databases OnLine DS System Administration OnLine DS Performance Tuning You don't necessarily need them ALL, but this list should give you an idea of which courses to look at.
