Mr. Tazl offered some good advice. Fortunately for you, VB is one of the languages that is used as a front-end to Oracle databases. If you have used recordsets with interfacing with Access databases, and have written SQL, then you are pretty close to your goal. PL/SQL gives you the flexibility you are used to with VB, and they have alot in common.

Good luck.
