FOXPRO is a structured programming language with a rudimentary XBASE-compliant file manager. It is designed for stand-alone applications which have simple data structures. ORACLE is a relational database management system which can be used with a variety of programming languages and interface tools from Oracle and many other vendors. It is designed for large multi-user applications which may have large, complex data structures (although Oracle has recently come out with some cut-down versions for use on PCs). Comparing them is like comparing a mouse to an elephant; both are mammals and in principle share some attributes, but they are optimized for different environments.
