Re: How to Install Oracle 12 Client in Existing Oracle Home

12.2 does not coexist well with 12.1

I needed 12.2 and 18c clients.

Docker was the solution, at least for me, as i just wanted to use a sqlplus client of the appropriate version.

Properly configured, docker is indistinguishable from sqlplus.
