As i've been checking, there are certain differences between the sql that is used in oracle and the one that is used in Access.. does anyone know where I could find some information or tutorial about it??

The SQL dialect used by Access is called Jet SQL (provided that you aren't using an Access project, which uses SQL Server as its back end).

Most ANSI compliant statements will work without changes, but key items are that Jet uses * instead of %, and ? instead of _ for wildcards in the LIKE statement.

More information is at
However, you will only really find the differences yourself if you try your original code in Access.

Are you using Access as a front end (FE) to your oracle data or are you moving the oracle tables to access. If access is a FE to oracle then you can leave the oracle code as is and run it through pass thru queries. This will be much more efficient than trying to link the oracle tables with ODBC in access.
