Description

Hello Oracle Team,

I have a need to build an image with Oracle Client including tools such has SQLplus, LoadJava, SQLLoader, tnsping etc..
The Oracle 19c Instant client has everything that I need but the loadjava, Not sure about tnsping yet. Here are my questions

  1. Is it possible to install/add loadJava alone to my Instant Client install?
  2. If I do need a full client - is there a docker image I can download?
  3. If there is no image for a full client , to keep the size in mind, I see there are two options a. Download Oracle DB docker image -SLIM (~ 2GB) b. Do an Image based Oracle Full Client Install (~ 2GB) Is there a difference between a and b in terms of Client tools and libraries?

Looking forward to knowing your recommendation.

Thank you Chad
