Goodbye Microsoft, Hello Oracle

  • After 3 years of working with Microsoft SQL Server and getting outstanding advice and help from SQLServerCentral.com, I have taken a new job where I will be using Oracle exclusively.

    I want to thank everyone who helped me with questions over the past three years.

    I have one last question for the group.  For those of you who have worked with both Oracle and SQLServer, is there a group similar to this one for Oracle developers?

    Thanks again

  • Don,

    Best of luck with Oracle. It will surely be interesting and you'll learn quite a bit.

    As to your question. I've had that one before and last year when I managed a group of Oracle of Oracle DBAs, they said they didn't know of one. They tended to use the Oracle User Group or Technical Network for questions.

    Maybe you'll start one

  • I like the power of PL/SQL, much better than T-SQL most of the time.

  • http://www.orafaq.com might be a start. At least they have an active mailing list, that helped me getting started.

    Good luck!

    I think it's called "AA".  They have this multi-step approach...  (Coming from Sybase & MS background, Oracle was a pain for me)

  • Try this : asktom.oracle.com .

     

  • Try: lazydba.com (great name), dba-village.com, technet.oracle.com, metalink.oracle.com (if you have the support agreement).  There's lots more.  I used metalink the most in the past.  I'm going in the opposite direction (Oracle to SQL).
