In the previous part we successfully created Oracle CDB instance.
Now, we will learn how to create a PDB or a Pluggable Database.

‍

You need to navigate to the Inventory area in the right side of the Layout section.
Under the Nodes there are 3 options available:

• Drag me on CDB to create PDB
• Drag me on CDB to install a Standby
• Drag PDB from the list onto a CDB to start copying

Drag the first icon named ::| Drag me on CDB to create PDB over the CDB (Primary) node icon.
The Create new pluggable database window will appear.

• Hint: Name field - Oracle supports the max length up to 12 letters and numbers. Avoid whitespaces and special symbols, as it leads to an error message.
• You need to verify your new Pluggable database Name by clicking Check button.

Please complete the form with other required fields and select Next.
There are couple of options you might need to check:

• Start the PDB once the CDB starts: simultaneous start of both instances.
• Pluggable Database Size: Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Very Large.
• Start Standbys when started: simultaneous start of both instances.
• Automatic delete: disabled by default, can be set between 1 and 365 days max.
• Click on the Rest API icon will generate a code you can later use for automation, in the preferred DevOps tool.

Select Submit to finalize your installation.

‍

Your installation path will look like this:
Inventory area → Nodes → Drag me icon → Primary node → Create new pluggable database → Click Submit
