An Oracle instance does not correlate to a SQL Server database.
An Oracle instance is a running Oracle server, i.e., a set of
background processes and a System Global Area in memory. It is what
permits applications to _access_ the database. The database is on
disk, the instance in memory.
An Oracle _schema_ is analogous to a SQL Server database.
(BTW, what does "v/r" mean?)
