The SAVE STATE clause serves to maintain the state of the PDB when the CDB is restarted. For example, if when the CDB was restarted the OPEN_MODE of the PDB was in READ ONLY, then when the CDB will be available the PDB will initialize in READ ONLY state automatically. Saving the state of the PDBS PDBOL and PDBOL_2 through the command “ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE <PDB NAME> SAVE STATE;”: Simulating the unavailability of the CBD: Rebooting the CDB: See that the PDB states were maintained: The saved states of the…

“ORA-65011: Pluggable database does not exist” while cloning a NON-CDB into a PDB
I was cloning an Oracle NON-CDB database to a PDB when I get the following error: I checked and the connection to the DB_LINK created to access the NON-CDB was OK: This error happens because you are probably trying to clone a CDB database to a PDB and this can be queried using SQL below: When a database is created as a CDB it can not be a PDB and vice versa.

12C : A simple approach to index monitoring
Index tracking is useful to know if the index is being used or not and then delete it. In this post I’ll be creating a table called techdatabasket_customers, an index called techdatabasket_index and later activating index monitoring through the command “ALTER INDEX <index_name> MONITORING USAGE;” to finally use the view dba_object_usage (In previous versions of 12.1, the view was called V$OBJECT_USAGE) to get the information in the USED field with the value “YES” meaning that the index is being used and “NO” meaning that the index is not being…

Therefore, it follows the procedures: Creating database directories and granting permissions to the oracle user: Creating the database pfile with the ENABLE_PLUGGABLE_DATABASE parameter set to TRUE, this way it will be possible to create PDBs in the future: Setting the environment variable and initializing the database in NOMOUNT status: Creation of the database: …
ORA-65093: multitenant container database not set up properly
I was creating a CDB database when I got the following error: Why did I get this error? Because I forgot to add the enable_pluggable_database parameter with the value to TRUE in the parameter file. Therefore, Oracle understood that I was creating a NON-CDB database instead of a CDB. After I added the parameter in the parameter file, it was possible to continue with the creation of the CDB database. enable_pluggable_database parameter with the value to TRUE Restating the instance with the new parameter: Creating the CDB database again:…
