- administrative user is ADMIN on the Oracle Cloud databases and SYSTEM on
local databases (SYSDBA is not available on the Oracle Cloud database)
- environment variables CX_ORACLE_TEST_SYSDBA_USER and
CX_ORACLE_TEST_SYSDBA_PASSWORD are replaced with CX_ORACLE_TEST_ADMIN_USER
and CX_ORACLE_TEST_ADMIN_PASSWORD
- skip tests that change passwords as passwords on Oracle Cloud database are
strictly controlled
- skip tests that check subscriptions as these are not currently supported on
Oracle Cloud database
so that the SQL scripts used to create/drop schemas are easily adjusted to
use different schema names, if desired. Improve documentation for test suite
and samples.
