Re: Developers wanting individual Unit Test (no data) databases - suggestions?

If you don’t need the data and just want to run a local database on a laptop that they can develop and run tests against then really Docker is the way to go. :) People have done it before and are unit testing this way: https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/master/OracleDatabase/samples/prebuiltdb <https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/master/OracleDatabase/samples/prebuiltdb> It allows you to spin up a DB in a matter of seconds and if they have done something wrong or want to start from scratch they can just throw away the container and spin up a new one.

Happy to help exploring this further, you got my email.
