Howdy,

First off, let me just say I'm loving what you've done here. I work for a non-profit open source group (http://www.kuali.org) and your method for easily installing Oracle 11g is spreading like crazy amongst the developers in our group.

This isn't really an "issue" per se. Was just wondering if you would consider changing the default from "xe" to "XE" in the JDBC url.

When you install Oracle 11g, "XE" is the default SID the Oracle installer uses. This would make your vagrant/puppet method for installing 11g pretty much a drop in replacement for the Oracle installer with that tweak.

All the tools/config our developers work with locally have the jdbc url setup as "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE"

Also, thought I'd pass along that this works great for installing Oracle 11g on Mac OSX. It installed perfectly fine, and I've been using 11g for about a week with no issues.

Thanks for this!

Hi,

Thanks very much for the kind words.

I've changed the connect identifier mentioned in README.md to use XE instead of xe. The Oracle SID appears to be case insensitive on my (Ubuntu) system, and I had not realised that it might need to be in uppercase on other OSes. Glad to know that the method works on OS X as well -- with that tweak. Thanks for pointing this out :-).
