Consider providing a Makefile target for installing an Oracle client #100

Closed nj1973 closed 1 month ago

nj1973 commented 7 months ago

We don't want to bundle the Oracle client but some customers may not be comfortable installing the client themselves. We could provide a Makefile target that downloads the instant client and unpacks it into the $OFFLOAD_HOME and perhaps adds environment variables to offload.env to use that specific ORACLE_HOME.

I've not fully thought this through but worth some thought. Perhaps we should prioritse the switch to oracledb instead.

I think we should prioritse the switch to oracledb instead of doing this.
