SQLServer's *physical* database format is proprietary to Microsoft. Just as
Oracle's is to Oracle.

Can it be used in an oracle environment?

Or can it be uploaded to a Oracle db? (like access thru odbec)

There are ODBC and OLEDB drivers available for both Oracle and SQLServer, so
yes, data can be shared and imported/exported between them.
