About me

Hi there, and thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m Gerald, and this is the platform where I intend to share my views of the IT world, amongst some other things. I started my career as a programmer in the middle of the .com hype. Between then and now, I have gotten around a bit in the world and seen a lot of different aspects of the technology world. I have seen a lot of “innovations” that I would rather call reinvented wheels, and also a lot of real innovations going unnoticed. In my current position, I work as a Product Manager for the Oracle Database, which puts me in a nice position of traveling around the globe and talking to IT folks on various different levels of some of the biggest companies in the world. More importantly, I also get to meet a lot of interesting and clever folks on the way, whether that’s at conferences or just by living in Silicon Valley. On this blog, I would like to share some of my humble, personal opinions on the world of IT with you and hopefully, we get some good conversations going…

  1. Hi,

    I only would like to know if it is possible to use a host database with oracle xe docker container. So that data is persisted between container start/stop/removals. I tried using volumes and mapping host folders to docker container folders but with no success. The system files (i.e. users.dbf) can not be mapped (Oracle fails during initialization), the created database files can be mapped but the associated info (i.e. users stored in users.dbf) stores in system files is not kept between container removals.

    Thank you
    Asier
