I'm not sure of Ytex adds another requirement, but is there any reason you can't just download the pre-built UMLS tables and use the internal Ctakes hsql DB mechanism as documented here? : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+3.2+Dictionaries+ and+Models.
I would also choose the 'Fast UMLS analysis engine' as the original UMLS engine is far too slow for parsing more than a couple of words at a time. You can see why it is so slow when stepping through the classical UMLS engine with a debugger. The fast AE lookup mechanism, however, is brilliant! You won't need Oracle at all for this.
