I do hope this is not a joke.

Access starts to lose its integrity at about three simultaneous transactions. By 20 it is toast. You just sit around waiting to see when it will pop up.

But I think you may be laboring under a horribly mistaken impression that if you know Access you can just grab a CD named Oracle, pop it into the machine, and do the same thing in Oracle. If that is the case you couldn't be further from the truth.

I would suggest, based on your question, that you have no business touching Oracle for any project more serious than personal education for at least one year.
