Oracle Schema and Oracle Database are two distinct concepts.

1. Oracle Database is a comprehensive database system that functions as an independent entity, handling tasks such as data storage, management, backup and recovery, and security. It can be viewed as a physically present database instance.
2. An Oracle Schema is a logical container for organizing and managing database objects such as tables, views, indexes, stored procedures, etc. A database can contain multiple schemas, each with its own namespace to differentiate between different objects. A schema can be thought of as a subset of the database used to organize and manage related objects.

In short, Oracle Database is the entire database system, while Oracle Schema is a logical grouping within the database used to organize and manage related objects.
