google reports more and more links about Oracle and other *toys*, about their benchmarks and performances, so you cannot call SQL Server a *toy*. you can consider Access like a toy, no doubt here but you can't call SQL Server toy, please.... in same way, Oracle is NOT a toy....
but this is not the point of my controversy. The real point is a problem of terminology.
I can't understand the reason why other *toys* use similar conventions, terminology and terms to describe database's structure, and Oracle not. This approach cause more-learning-time in Oracle study, and, IMHO, confusion. The concept between Oracle and SQL Server are the same, ok, but not words and terms that come used to explain and describe this concepts. however, i understand this fact, thanks for explanations about this *my* problem.....

good coding!!!
