Oracle SQL for an SQL Server person

[Scottland]

Hi,

Our servers in work are being migrated to an Oracle db instead of SQL Server (2008). Can anyone recommend me a quick start guide for coming from SQL Server? I'll be getting some training in at some point, I'm just after something to give me a head start etc.


Thanks

Hi, thanks for that. I'd been looking at some of the stuff on the Oracle site already - but was just after a cheat sheet of sorts with some of the distinctions between the 2 whilst I get upto speed (although I've found some for now).

Not really a fan of it so far, but it's not my call

We've got DBA's etc, it's just that the data I use for analysis will be moved from the SQL servers Oracle. Cost wise, I believe we have some sort of enterprise license for the whole company with Oracle, but the servers in question have separate licenses for SQL Server. By migrating them, they basically don't have to pay the MS licenses anymore and will be part of the enterprise license with Oracle.
