Oracle Multitenant

Oracle Multitenant enables an Oracle Database to function as a container database (CDB). A CDB consolidates multiple pluggable databases (PDB), a portable collection of schemas, schema objects, and non-schema objects. Whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud, with Oracle Multitenant, applications run unchanged in self-contained PDBs, improving resource utilization, management, and overall security.

Rapid cloning and provisioning

Local clones and remote clones

Database administrators save time by provisioning pluggable databases as clones locally or from across the network without disrupting the source.

Create storage efficient pluggable databases in seconds that mirror full data set copies of the source pluggable database for development and testing environments.

Refreshable PDBs

Maintain up to date copies of production databases by periodically topping them up with incremental transactions.
