Lets get the terminology correct.
SQLServer is a product of Microsoft Corporation. ORACLE is a product of the Oracle Corporation. Both products are Relational Database Management Systems -> RDBMS. So both vendors would cringe at the phrase "oracle sql servers ".

They don't serve up sql they use SQL - Structured Query Language - to manipulate data.

You could read the docs at otn.oracle.com. Sign up, its free. And go to documentation. Or use tnsping and a network sniffer to see what it is doing.
