Support for oracle database?

[309525902]

I am very happy to see such a good product, I want to know when your code can support the oracle database.

Thank you for your compliments. Oracle database is an expensive paid product. Are you willing to contribute to the effort of building support for it? If you do, then please send me an email.

Hi, can you outline the effort that would be required to write an oracle driver ? Thanks

I looked into installing Oracle 18c XE in the CentOS 8 docker instance. It requires binaries from:

https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/xe-downloads.html

Install files are several gigabytes. They seem to be designed for Oracle Linux 7.

I tried installing Oracle 18c on CentOS 7 in a docker container. It installs fine, but now I need to configure it. Does anyone have any experience in (automatic) installation and configuration of Oracle?

@simevo We need to:

• have automatic installation of oracle in a docker container
• port the fixtures to the oracle sql variant
• adjust the driver to the oracle sql variant

I'm stuck at the first step. Help with any of these steps is appreciated.

I know this is a low priority issue, but here you can find a docker xe install for testing: https://hub.docker.com/r/gvenzl/oracle-xe

That is a great docker instance, used by jOOQ, which tells me a lot. I will have to adjust the test script to be able to use it, but that can be done.
