RE: Oracle to MSSQL conversion?

Wolfe

Knowing SQL Server and moving to Oracle is going to be tough. The other way round is very simple though from Oracle to SQL Server.

Every database functions differently in many respects. Best is not to compare the both and try and learn the concepts of Oracle.

Start with the Oracle Concepts guide and understand the functionality and working
of Oracle.

Being more of a SQL 2000 DBA (I am experienced from SQL Server 6.5).

At my installation I have 5 SQL-2000 database machines and recently acquired three Oracle 9i machines.

The limit is essentially a function of your storage area and the amount of real memory available to the processor or processor array.

I'm trying to draw similarities between the RDBM concepts now as I learn Oracle's idea of a database.

Maybe now is a good time for me to ask these question since it is related to this thread's subject, can you say that an Oracle instance is essentially the same as a MSSQL database? I ask this because a MSSQL server can support multiple databases which can be configured different ways.
