Comparative "How To" between Oracle and Postgres

Following text describes Oracle as it was before its pluggable era which started from 12th major version. While majority (if not all) of these examples will work as described there might be new features that will make some cases from not possible to already exists in Oracle. One of such examples is added OFFSET clause in SELECT which was absent in latest 11.2 version.
