No, I do not think the Pick background will give you much help. Oracle and other relational database management systems(RDBMS) use a totally different terminology to create, store, muniplate and use data. You'd better to find some materials to get the basic knowledge of Oracle and RDBMS. The SQL is the common language for all of RDBMS with slitly difference. In case of Oracle, it uses PL/SQL.
