We have an Oracle database server specifically for our unit tests to run against. Is there a way to tune Oracle specifically for this kind of purpose? As the data is constantly being thrown away (since it’s just test data). I wonder if there is a way to have an Oracle database in-memory and connect without the TCP/IP stack perhaps to speed up these tests.
Any suggestions?
The answer is likely yes, but changing the database environment from the production configuration to a integration configuration during testing introduces risk that the testing will give false results.
