The forest and the trees
Gary B. Randolph · 2003
Students in a sophomore-level database fundamentals course were taught SQL and database concepts using both Oracle and SQL Server. Previous offerings of the class had used one or the other database. Classroom experiences suggest that students were able to handle learning SQL in the dual environment, and, in fact, benefited from this approach by better understanding ANSI-standard versus database-specific SQL and implementation differences in the two database systems.
