Oracle has no "databases" but "schemas", you can list them with
sql Code:
Original - sql Code
  1. SELECT username FROM all_users ORDER BY username;

When connected to oracle you'll use by default the schema corresponding to your username (connecting as SCOTT all objects created by you will belong to SCOTT's schema) and you'll also be able to use objects in different schemas that you've been granted rights on. Say you are SYSTEM and you want to read all entries from table A that resides in SCOTT's schema, you'll write something like
sql Code:
Original - sql Code
  1. SELECT * FROM SCOTT.A;
