I have worked a lot with dBase (version III upto version 7).
Is there a lot of difference between Oracle and dBase?
Programming in dBase and visual dBase was no problem for me.

dBase was a clever pc database that had a proprietary API. Oracle is based on
the client server model; there's a wide variety of clients that can access the
DB server.

If dBase can solve your problem, then Oracle is overkill. dBase and MS Access
are comparable. Probably true of Visual Foxpro, but I've never used it.
