Difference between Oracle Server and Oracle Database
I know it sounds a stupid question, but here it is:
What is the difference between the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server? I downloaded the Oracle Database, but found out that there exists "Oracle Application Server" ...

Oracle Server is the actual Oracle database and its client software. If you want to run a Oracle database, this is what you are looking for.
Oracle Application Server (OAS) is connects to Oracle database(s) and is used for creating real-time reports and metric information from data found inside the database. OAS can be setup to display the database data as a html, pdf, word document, etc.

Actually, OAS is actually much, much more.
Oracle Application Server is - well - an application server. It competes with IBM Websphere, BEA WebLogic, and JBoss (among other J2EE application servers).
Here's the link to Oracle's page:
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/index.html
Here's an article on "Application Servers" in general:
