Aaron,

once you've digested the concepts guide as advised by Sybrand, follow it up with Tom Kyte's excellent 'Expert one-on-one Oracle'. This book starts off by describing in detail the differences between SQL Server and Oracle - what makes one better or not, how things MUST be done differently and why.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Norman.
