[QGIS-Developer] oracle provider (testing)

[Julien Cabieces]

Hi,

As described here[0], you can use Docker quite easily to run an Oracle test instance.

You'd have to be patient after starting docker (and before running the
test data populating script), because it takes several minutes to the
database to be fully operationnal (you can check when it's completely
ready with docker logs command).
