Pre-built Developer VMs

Just downloaded and setup the database development VM running on VirtualBox.

How easy is that?

I did have a couple of versions of Oracle running on VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Pro.

Then it crashed and I lost a bunch of stuff that I haven’t got reinstalled yet.

Yes I’m an IT professional. No it wasn’t backed up. What’s your point? 😉

Anyway, these Virtual Box VMs – nice, easy. Cool.

And in a flash I’m running an environment with:

• Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
• Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition
• Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Cache
• Oracle XML DB
• Oracle SQL Developer
• Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
• Oracle Application Express 4.0
• Oracle JDeveloper
