Step 2-8 min
Set Up Oracle with Docker
Launch Oracle XE in a Docker container, create a database user, and seed sample data.
What you'll do
Launch an Oracle XE instance using Docker, create a database user, and seed three tables with sample data.
Why this step matters
The pipeline needs a source database with data to ingest. Oracle XE is a free, lightweight version of Oracle Database that runs locally in a container. Seeding it with customers, orders, and order items gives you realistic relational data to work with.
