title: How do I browse databases on an Oracle Server?
body: <p>So I'm coming from a position as a SQL Server developer who has written a little bit of PL/SQL way back in the mists of time but effectively knows nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I've got a laptop, it's running Oracle.  There is a database on the laptop which I need to have a look at and neither I, nor anyone else I can speak to, knows what it's called.</p>
  
  <p>I have a couple of logins including one which alleges to be an Admin login.</p>
  
  <p>What's the easiest way to browse the databases on the server and then connect to one?</p>
  
  <p>I suspect that my assumptions about relationships between servers, users and databases from SQL Server are leading me astray but right now I can't get past idea that the client tools Oracle ships are someone's idea of a joke but I'm really not finding it that funny.</p>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure that it's version 9.2 that's running.</p>
  
  <p>Happy to provide more information but right now I don't know where to start.</p>
