For environments requiring setup (MongoDB, Oracle, Elasticsearch) the is
really a team effort where we rely on our community to test release
candidates, and in this case review a pull request.

In this specific case, if we had a volunteer to setup an online test (using
Oracle XE) we would be able to provide faster / better service with lower
effort.  The test provides its own data and is setup with this environment
in mind.

As Andrea indicated we lack a passionate module maintainer for Oracle, if
you two have knowledge on this is a great opportunity to take part.
