Let’s rest oracle for intel mac for now
Let’s face it, oracle won’t release oracle for mac in the near future. Something about the value of porting is the problem. I think when Oracle think servers will use OSX, like when they see linux as servers, then oracle will release full blown oracle for mac.
Until then, just use you parallels and linux. Why linux ? Because linux on parallels uses somewhat less cpu power than windows. Actually freebsd use even less cpu than linux, but i still unable to install oracle on it.
As performance wise, i think it is still very acceptable for development environment. I just remove all my table from one tablepace to another in just few minutes. One of the table contains about 8 mil rows 
So lets enjoy developing in mac..
