Oracle XE 18c in Travis

[c-bik]

Hi,

I have been using accept_the_license_agreement_for_oracledb_xe_11g_and_install.sh script for some time now to automated test with code coverage.

This script is however isn't very scalable or maintenable, among other things!

What I am looking to know is what is the recommended way. Travis (Ubuntu) is very handy (specially with coveralls integration etc), but Oracle only has yum support!

Currently working around with docker, but that have significantly increased the time for each test run.

How do you suggest I should go about testing integration?

TIA

For private testing you could try https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

The DB team is well aware of the general issue. See oracle/docker-images#1156
