Oracle Database 12c: Installation and Administration — Question 202

In your multitenant container database (CDB) with two pluggable database (PDBs). You want to create a new PDB by using SQL Developer.
Which statement is true?

Answer options

• A. The CDB must be open.
• B. The CDB must be in the mount stage.
• C. The CDB must be in the nomount stage.
• D. Alt existing PDBs must be closed.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Container Database (CDB) needs to be open to create a new Pluggable Database (PDB). Options B and C are incorrect as the CDB must be fully open, not in the mount or nomount stages, to perform this action. Option D is also wrong since existing PDBs do not need to be closed for the creation of a new PDB.
