Here is a couple examples of using Docker as a way to get versions of
SqlPlus/Oracle client that I could not otherwise install

These docker images are configured is such a way that they work just like
sqlplus.
Well, it is sqlplus, but in docker.
I also use it to package and distribute an extension for orachk/exachk.
It could be done without docker, but it SO much easier with docker.

Anybody using docker or some kind of application containerization
environment in their production systems. We don't have any but just trying
to understand it and how to use it. We are having trouble figuring out how
the database fits into all of this. Is your database in a container? I
don't see how you could with a 1tb database. So is the application just
under a container and they all point to a traditional database?
Thanks,
Jeff
