*
* Released June 25th, 2013 to the general public
* Loads of new features, Pluggable Database is
the most anticipated and talked about.
* Beta program was very successful, ran for over
1 year to test through partners and user groups
the features and capabilities of product.
* Multi-Tenancy is the new THANGdont forget!
* Everything is going the way of the cloud- SaaS,
DBaaS, PaaSthen DBAs

*
* Concept is familiar to MySQL and MSSQL DBAs
as attach/detach with standard system/user
database.
* Allows sharing of SGA, background processing
and most of data dictionary into Container
Database, (CDB)
* aka multi-tenancy offers high sharing, secure
containment of databases and lower costs.
* Allows easy migration of user/pluggable
databases, (PDB) between platforms, releases
and systems.

*
 * Shared SGA and PGA
* Single set of
Background Processes
* All in Container
Database
* Pluggable databases,
plugged in to
container database
* EM Express Default
Installation for Added
Support

*
* Ability for resources to be shared and yet
security and environment to be separate for
auditing and processing purposes.
* Exceptionally valuable when consolidating and
offering maximum return on investment.
* Simplifies administration.

*
* Oracle System dictionary resides in the
Container Database.
* The SGA and PGA global allocation
* RAC and Dataguard compatible
* CDB Root Namespace
* High Consolidation Density by sourcing so much
in the CDB!
* Where first virtualization and many Oracle
Homes created more complexity and upkeep in
previous versions of Oracle.

*
* High Consolidation Density
* Rapid Patches and Upgrading
* Manage Many Database as One
* Advanced and Dynamic Resource Management
of Shared Resources
* Rapid Provisioning and Cloning

*
* Sealed off from any other PDB and self-
contained.
* Read-only copy of CDB data dictionary
* Will use service names over Oracle SID for
connections.
* Pre-12.1 databases can be migrated into PDB
* Rman, Dataguard can be at PDB level or CDB
level! PDB has granular control over both.

*
* Simple unplug method
* Database is simple XML output file.

* Plugging in is simple commands/file direction

* Simple cloning from one pluggable to another.
* Each Pluggable is self-contained
* Take extra care when utilizing OMF, (Oracle
Managed Files) Clone Failures can occur with
standard clone and creation scripts.

*
* Migrate to new platform
* Migrate to new hardware
* Migrate and upgrade to new database release
* Move database with ease to new system with
more resources.
* Added enhancement for high availability, as
moving is straight forward.

*
* CON_ID=0 is for instance level.
* CON_ID=1 is for the Container database
* CON_ID=2 is for the seed database
* CON_ID>1 is for pluggables

*
* One word:
CON_ID
Select name, con_id from
v$active_services
where con_id !=1;

* Utilize many of your same queries, but add into

where clause, CON_ID=<con_id for PDB>; using
the v$/GV$ views

*
* ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER = pgtst12c2;
* Show statements:

* And once you have altered your session-

*
*
Same V$ query youd use to look at datafiles in
previous versions, just added the con_id to the
where clause!

*
* These replace the DBA Views when you move from
single instance to Pluggable database.
* Easily replaced, comfortable scripting, just replace
your DBA with CDB:

* Yes, there are over 900 new CDB views

* Two PDB views at Container level

*
* All data is shown with subcategory of what PDB
derived from in main AWR report.

*
* This includes Datafiles and Objects

*
* Top Container

* Very little data broken down by PDB at this

time:

*
* Marketed as replacement for DB Console
* Available to PDBs post configuration of the DBMS
package (DBMS_XDB_CONFIG.SETHTTPPORT).
* High performance tools available with no overhead
to database.
* Great tool to grant to developers if you arent
willing to grant access to EM12c.
* Has own entry in listener.ora, (yes listener must be
running to connect)
* Uses FlashPlayer currently, but will be rewritten
soon!

*
*
*
* Virtualbox has a lot of support from Oracle
* VMWare is the most trusted.

* Images easy to locate.

* Shortcuts can save you a lot of time.

*
