There's no emperical data that shows that it is but why do you care? I'm not trying to be flippant but I don't think it really matters to you. If Oracle has been foisted on you, then you're going to have to learn it so you can fully exploit it. If SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, MySQL :), is your shop's DBMS of choice, then you'll have to learn it too. Soooooooooo, get cracking on the docs. :)
