    How tough is it to go from a job in sql server to a job in oracle.

    Ive been working exclusively within SQL Server for the last 3 years or so, and I have never used Oracle, but may be interested in the future.

    With a fair bit of SQL Server knowledge, could someone jump into a role in Oracle?

    What exactly will you be doing with Oracle?

    Yeah that's key. Development should be no problem really but admin be tougher....

    By its nature SQL is standardized but can come in different flavours. I studied Oracle in college and it was fairly similar to MySQL. Oracle just has things like triggers and PLSQL... (I think that's it)

    If you have a good grasp of database principles I can't imagine the leap to Oracle will be impossible...

    Not really. SQL Server is a DBMS. Oracle is a DBMS, plus they have their own apps, plus they support many platforms, plus they have their own dev tools.

    Oracle is a very broad-church, what specifically do you want to do? If it's on the pure DBA side, there will be very little commonality between tuning a SQL-Server database and an Oracle database.
