What is the way to work with oracle db on mac?

Question

Oracle

I need to create an Oracle (PL/SQL) database, populate it, then fetch Java code.
I googled, they write that there are no oracle distributions for mac, there is an option to install some kind of linux distribution on the Virtual box, put oracle there, create a database, fill it in there.
But, how to access this database from the "parent" operating system - Mac? And is there an easier way?
I have a rather weak Mac, I'm afraid it will be very heavily loaded from the IDE running Tomcat and Virtual Box with oracle.

Answer 1

I installed 10g five years ago on a Mac, I had to file a little, change the kernel settings, but there were a couple of good guides (I remember one from Alex Gorbachev, but everything is in English) and everything got up without any problems. In addition, I also installed APEX. Guides : www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-techn...

Use docker.
They even have official ready-made docker files and docker compose on github. https://github.com/oracle/docker-images
