This Docker image contains the Oracle Instant Client 'Basic', 'SDK' and 'SQL*Plus' packages. It can be extended to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC applications. It can also be extended to build and run scripting language drivers that use OCI such as Python's cx_Oracle, Node.js's node-oracledb, PHP's OCI8, and Ruby's ruby-oci8.
The SQL*Plus command-line query tool is also included, allowing quick ad-hoc SQL and PL/SQL execution.
Oracle Instant Client is a repackaging of Oracle Database libraries, tools and header files usable to create and run applications that connect to a remote (or local) Oracle Database.
Download the Oracle Instant Client RPMs from OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html
The following three RPMs are required:
oracle-instantclient<version>-basic-<version>-1.x86_64.rpmoracle-instantclient<version>-devel-<version>-1.x86_64.rpmoracle-instantclient<version>-sqlplus-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm
Place the downloaded Oracle Instant Client RPMs (from the previous step) in the
same directory as the Dockerfile and run:
docker build -t oracle/instantclient:<version> .
For example, to build an 18.3 Instance Client Docker Image, run:
docker build -t oracle/instantclient:18.3.0 .
You can run a container interactively to execute ad-hoc SQL and PL/SQL statements in SQL*Plus:
docker run -ti --rm oracle/instantclient:18.3.0 sqlplus hr/welcome@example.com/pdborcl
To extend the image with optional Oracle Database drivers, follow your desired driver installation steps. The Instant Client libraries are in /usr/lib/oracle/<version>/client64/lib and the Instant Client headers are in /usr/include/oracle/<version>/client64/.
The Instant Client libraries are in the default library search path.
