Hi.

Oracle produces server software. With that in mind, do you think OS X warrants any attention from Oracle? When they release a new server product, should OS X be on their list of platforms to care about? I wouldn't waste my time and money on it, and typically they don't either.

Do what everyone else does and run it on a VM. At least then you are running Oracle on an OS that at least resembles something you will use for production. :)

Personally, I never install Oracle directly on to any of my machines (MacBook or Linux servers). it always goes on VMs.

Cheers

Tim...
