  Hi,

  I am hopefully moving to a new position with a company who use both Oracle and SQL Server. While I won't be directly working with Oracle (at least to begin with) I was wondering if anyone had any good stairways or other learning tools that they had used? I would like to increase my knowledge so at least I will be able to understand what the oracle folks are talking about!

  Thanks

  This site can help you: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/nav/portal_booklist.htm

  Also, even if it's supposed to be used to move from Oracle to SQL Server, this could help you to check differences and similarities: https://mva.microsoft.com/en-us/training-courses/sql-server-2014-essentials-for-oracle-dbas-9062?l=VGDAvmR4_7004984382

  Thanks Luis. I'll check out that MVA course - looks like a good starting point on the differences.
