Re: containers

Here is a couple examples of using Docker as a way to get versions of SqlPlus/Oracle client that I could not otherwise install

https://blog.pythian.com/how-to-use-oracle-instant-client-docker-images/ https://blog.pythian.com/how-to-create-an-oracle-18c-client-image-in-docker/

These docker images are configured is such a way that they work just like sqlplus.

Well, it is sqlplus, but in docker.

I also use it to package and distribute an extension for orachk/exachk.

It could be done without docker, but it SO much easier with docker.
