Comparing Oracle to Access is like comparing a Mack Truck to a go-cart. Both can get you where you want to go (where do you want to go today?). But one is a toy, and the other is for serious business commerce. One can handle one passenger, the other can handle many. One can carry a few pounds of cargo, the other can haul tons. One can travel at 35 mph and you can feel the wind in your hair, the other can move along down the highway at 90 mph and provides quadraphonic sterio and air conditioning.

Of course, if all you want to do is 'putter around in the yard' with your data, buy the go-cart solution (MS Access). But if you have serious intentions of being in the business of housing data for coprorate use, buy the Mack Truck solution (Oracle).
