Works with r101976 (1.19a) but is painfully slow because it recreates the schema for each test. A workaround for this issue is to run a short Database test once (so it creates the testing schema) and then use --reuse-db switch that will only clear the schema without recreating it.

Tested against Oracle 11g SE.

No-cost eval/development version of Oracle 11g "Express" available for Windows x86 and Linux x86_64:
