If you mean, run Cayenne unit and integration tests, then my goal is
to install a range of databases in our Cayenne zone and have Hudson
run them automatically. I've spent quite a few hours on this already,
but am finding it very difficult to install things in the restricted
sandbox we have inside the zone. If you have more Solaris experience
and can navigate around the limits imposed by the zone, I'd love help
to get them installed. Unfortunately from tomorrow I am travelling for
a month, so I'll not be very available for a little while.
It is frustrating because on an OS I know (eg FreeBSD) these things
would take me several minutes.
Oracle has a free license for Windows/Linux (but not Solaris I think)
with the limitation of only being able to create a single database. We
do our testing in our office with this version running on Windows. You
have to register on the Oracle web site and they send you endless
marketing information.
I tried to extract some better information about licensing from an
Oracle sales person at the recent CeBIT in Sydney, but I just got some
smarmy employee who knew little about the licensing and thought that
Windows and RHEL were the only two 'enterprise' operating systems:
anyone using something else was worthy of ridicule.
I was going to ask on infra that someone with root zone access install
a range of databases for us, but I was going to have one more crack at
installing mysql first. The Hudson part should be really quite simple.
