I was extremely excited at the prospect of getting to use Oracle. Until I realised what a pain in the ass it was!! Ok, I must admit the pain in the ass part is more me being unfamiliar with it then anything else.
So far, the impression I get of it Oracle(via TOAD) is that it's more powerful than MSSQL.
Perhaps it was because I didn't have to manipulate data the way I have to now (and also I used to have more gurus to ask for help)... but I've
1. Created function
2. Use cursors
3. Created types
4. Gotten lotsa memory leaks (Dunno why ALWAYS tio memory leak zz, maybe 'cos I abuse the compiler by forcing it to compile my 1/2 pass 6 SQL??)
Background: I was asked to move heaven and earth to fulfil a report request and I MOVED heaven and earth!!! Bwahah at least to me lah, noob ma! But must admit the top of my head now feels a bit cooler and lighter and i feel satisfied that i managed to complete my task despite wanting to throw the towel in many times during these 4 days.
Gambatte me!!

Nice post. You have provided a very good definition of Oracle in both the ways i.e its simple and technical meaning. Yes its a powerful database of all the databases exists so far and also very interesting to learn & work too.
