Access Oracle SQL etc

Hi All

Is it a great deal for a self taught Access programmer to progress to SQL?

I have noticed that SQL Contracts and employment seems to offer greater
income potential.

What is Oracle and how does it differ from Access SQL etc.

Thank you all

Oracle is an enterprise database management system. It's a very huge system
that requires extensive expertise to maintain. Oracle provides a number of
development tools -- SQL/Plus, Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, etc. -- to
allow developers to create and maintain applications. All these tools are
very different from Access and take a fair amount of time to learn. Access
SQL and Oracle SQL are quite a bit alike, although the syntax of a number of
functions are considerably different, but not so difficult to learn.
