Instructions to prepare Oracle using Xstream as an alternative to LogMiner.

A few things to note:

  • I thought it was best to have all the Oracle preparation info in one page. If it makes more sense to split it into two pages then let me know.
  • In the source document, a section mentions running RDI locally on a Macbook. AFAIK, this is only for internal use, so I've left it out of the published docs.
  • Should we recommend either LogMiner or Xstream or is it purely a matter of which one the user prefers?

Any other feedback is also welcome, of course :-)

Should we recommend either LogMiner or Xstream or is it purely a matter of which one the user prefers? - This is a matter of licensing. XStream is paid, and LogMiner is free..

I think this could be moved to the bottom. It is valid for both LogMiner and XStream.

@peperon Done.

the Debezium Server container image (`debezium/server:3.0.8.Final` for RDI GA v1.8.0 and
later).

On the Docker machine, download the Instant Client package for Linux x64 from the Oracle website

This should more like the one for XMLTYPE:
To support XStream connector, you must create a custom [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) image that includes the required Instant Client package libraries for Linux x64 from the Oracle website.

Done. (I've also added numbered steps like the XMLTYPE section).
