As I spent few days to sort out oracle connection with exsting nodered container,  
I'd like to share how I solved the problem as following.

1. download oracle client zip file: ( in my case target oracle version is 11g )

2. Copy inside docker container

> docker cp zipFile norered:/data

1. Access docker as root

2. After creating /data/oracle, copy the zip file and unzip it.

3. Create soft link

4. Install lib ( libaio, libnsl )  
apk update  
apk add libaio  
apk add libnsl

5. Set docker environment variable LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH from host  
sudo su  
systemctl stop docker

6. Execute oracle DB query using oracle node

I never use docker.
