<p>Can anyone recommend some good resources that highlight the differences between Oracle and the AS/400 database?</p>

<p>I am trying to help someone with a lot of AS/400 experience implement an Oracle installation, and they need some guidance.</p>

<p>A book or online resource would be ideal.</p>
