SQL - need real basic info

I need some pretty basic information. I've been pretty sheltered
in the mainframe and PC world for the past 20 years but now my
company is jumping into the world of DEC Alphaservers. Our
critical systems will be migrated to these new platforms and
reside within RMS databases. I have a gut feeling that using that
type of database will only allow us to use DEC tools and I'd like
to have a lot more options. I've heard a lot about SQL tools and
databases but am not sure what the benefits are to having such a
thing. Could anyone help me out with experiences/reasons/etc?
What do I gain from an Oracle database vs. any other kind?
TIA,
