[Building Sakai] Best wat for a Mac Guy to get Oracle Test Instance to Test LTI 2.1

[Charles Severance]

Thanks all.    I first tried your advice installing virtual box and getting the Oracle Express appliance - it was so close but I think that networking failed me.

I think the problem is that my Parallels install kind of messes up the stock network config - so I searched and found a Parallels Oracle XE appliance - and that came up and once I figureed out my connection string - viola it all came up and Sakai was happily firing tables into Oracle!

Thanks all.  Back to testing LTI 2.1.0
