Oracle Database 12c: Advanced Administration — Question 141

Which three methods can be used to create a pluggable database (PDB) in an existing multitenant container database (CDB)?

Answer options

• A. Use PDB$SEED for creating a PDB.
• B. Use the DBMS_PDB package to plug a non-CDB into an existing CDB.
• C. Clone the existing PDB.
• D. Use Enterprise Manager Database Express to create a PDB in an existing CDB.
• E. Use the DBMS_PDB package to plug a pre-Oracle 12c database into an existing CDB.

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

The correct answers A, B, and C are valid methods to create a PDB in a CDB. Option A utilizes the template PDB$SEED, option B employs the DBMS_PDB package for plugging in a non-CDB, and option C allows for cloning an existing PDB. Options D and E are incorrect as they describe methods that either do not pertain to creating a new PDB or involve older database versions not applicable in this context.
