I would suggest you play to your strength. They know you do not know Oracle ERP so why bother worrying now about that? What things in your experience (SAP and ??) demonstrate the skills they are looking for? What steps did you take to learn SAP? How can you use those steps to learn what you need for this job? Those are the things that will make you stand apart. Review your current ORACLE skills. Recall specific examples of problems you have encountered and solved. How were those problems similar to what they are encountering?

If the company was not willing to give you training or some time at least to learn, then you would not have gotten the interview. trying to cram for the exam is often a poor way to prepare.

HTH, and good luck!
