How to create three or n databases, you can pass an array in the string variable of ORACLE_DATABASE

[habolanos]

Is it possible to create three or n databases, can an array be passed in the ORACLE_DATABASE string variable?

How could you create more databases in a single Docker container?

My idea is set ORACLE_DATABASE=ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3....ORCLn and upgrade routine to know how read this array when make db

Hey @habolanos,

Thanks a lot for using these images!

This is a very interesting idea! Currently $ORACLE_DATABASE cannot contain more than one database name but it wouldn't be very hard to accept a list of database names separated by a comma.

The only other way to currently do it would be to use a custom setup script and create them manually.

This is now implemented.

Thanks again for the great suggestion, @habolanos!
