Hi,
This proposal will not impact running tests in parallel on Oracle. I believe the reason why there is no support for it right now is because it isn’t possible to clone databases to run tests in parallel. From what little research I did, it isn’t possible without external utilities (unlike utilities like mysqldump or template databases in case of MySQL and PostgreSQL).
The alternative would be to simply create multiple databases. I’m assuming this would result in a huge performance hit.
I’d be more than glad to amend my proposal and add support for Oracle DB.
Thanks,
Abhijeet.
