I meant exactly the opposite.
Let's try to be explicit:
Too many people coming from a sqlserver background don't read any documentation at all, and come here asking questions for which one easily can find the answer by searching http://tahiti.oracle.com. The books of Tom Kyte (available at all major websites) are exceptionally clear and some of them also have a chapter about architectural differences between Oracle and sqlserver.
