sql server tends to be easy than oracle because you using t-sql which is a dialect of sql. Pl/sql is more challenging you have to write a statement beginning with declare

If your good in either, there will be better job opportunities and salaries. That said, I usually see more SQL jobs than Oracle ones assuming we are talking about databases. Oracle do much more than just databases, they are into virtualization too.
