How to Install Oracle on an M1/M2 Mac (Finally)

You can finally get an Oracle database running on an M1 Mac!

In this video, I'll explain step-by-step how to set up an Oracle database on an M1, M2, or M3 Mac.

This will include using Docker to start the database, and connecting to it using an SQL editor.

⏱ TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Intro
00:40 - Download the database
02:25 - Clone the repository
03:53 - Build the image
06:30 - Run the container
08:58 - Connect to the database

🔗 VIDEO LINKS:

Git Clone command:

Build command:

Docker Run command:
docker run -d --name oracle19 -e ORACLE_PWD=mypassword1 -p 1521:1521 oracle/database:19.3.0-ee

SELECT command for the current database:
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USER_ENV', 'CON_NAME')
FROM dual;

Change to PDB:
ALTER SESSION SET container=ORCLPDB1;

Thank you so much!! I am so happy to have chanced upon this video. I've followed your instructions to the T on my Mac M1 Mini 2020 (16GB/512GB SDD). Everything worked just as you described. Separately, I've downloaded SQL Developer and the connection is so smooth.

Hi, my question is more towards VS Code and VS Code Server. I have VS Code installed and had no problem adding the SQL Developer extension. However, this doesn't seem to be available for the Server version of VS Code (which I am hosting in my home lab). Any thoughts on why this is or if there is a work-around to getting it installed?

hi, just wonder to know how can I connect to oracle autonomous database in mac m1.

[carloskelaidis]

Something I'm not quite clear on. Does this allows me to connect to a remote Oracle DB? Or is this a local Oracle DB? Because I'm on M1 Mac and need to connect to an Oracle DB hosted on my company's server.

Any help is much appreciated!
