Yes, many people think Rdb is better engineered and more sophisticated than Oracle, although Oracle corp. is working to improve Oracle8. There is a lot of overlap in concepts of administration, but the details can be quite different.

My personal opinion is still to use Rdb for very large distributed production databases. O8 still needs some shaking out.
