Are these two things very similar in nature? I'm a bit confused as in my studies I'm comparing a SQL Server "database" to an Oracle "database" and I'm thinking I should be comparing a SQL Server "database" to an Oracle "schema."

I ask because I'm looking at a SQL Server server that contains 23 databases but based upon my reading, that is very unfeasible with Oracle - thought it appears 23 schemas makes a lot more sense.

Am I making any sense?
