Oracle¶
Oracle’s website is here
To emulate Oracle use it is possible to register for and download Oracle XE (Express Edition) which can be package-installed, for example, into a VM and networked to appear as a local database. [1]
If you’re downloading Oracle stuff, you’ll probably also need to download the appropriate JDBC driver and more than likely the SQL Developer application to view table structure and content.
Footnotes
[1] | I used Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 installed in a
VirtualBox Fedora 20 for testing purposes - although I did need to
increase swap space
and tried alter system set processes=200 scope=spfile when in the
sqlplus system CLI. |
