If Optivision was developed for SQLserver and has been 'ported' 1 on 1 to Oracle, it will almost 100 percent certain perform badly, as the architecture of both databases is fundamentally different. In that case you shouldn't consider using Oracle, or you must want to make the life of an Oracle DBA miserable.
