Overview:

Both Oracle and Microsoft use the defined concepts of instances and databases. They share a lot of similarities and provide their own unique approaches. Since the products have been in the marketplace for many years and they continue to improve, some terms ("Server," "Systems," "Instance," and "Database") have been used to describe one in comparison to another. Even the vendors have been guilty of adding to the confusion. Oracle's Database is more than just a set of database files for a single instance to use. Similarly, the product name Microsoft SQL Server does not limit a single instance to run on the physical computer server.
