-To run the tests from your IDEs for Oracle, DB2 and other non-OSS JDBC drivers, it is a bit different.
-You also need to edit `build.gradle` and change the following (e.g for Oracle DB).

-// from
-if (db.equalsIgnoreCase("oracle")) {
-  dependencies {
-    testRuntime( libraries.oracle )

-Also remember to add the Oracle driver to your local Maven repository.
-Oracle drivers are not on Maven central.

+_*NOTE : If you are running tests against a JDBC driver that is not available via Maven central (generally due to license nonsense - Oracle, DB2, etc) be sure to add these drivers to your local Maven repo cache (~/.m2/repository) or (better) add it to a personal Maven repo server*_
