How to Convert an Oracle 12c Database to a Multitenant Pluggable Database (PDB)

Learn how to convert a Non-CDB Oracle 12c Database to a 12c Pluggable Database (PDB), i.e. how to plug in a “normal” (non-CDB) database into a 12c Container Database (CDB).

Oracle Certified Master John Watson, SkillBuilders Director of Oracle Database Services, provides an outstanding overview of the conversion process and method and provides a detailed demonstration.

This is the second tutorial in the series on 12c Multitenant database – see what-is-12c-multi-tenant-cdb-pdb-database for the first tutorial in the series.

For additional information on multi-tenant architecture an benefits , also see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/multitenant/overview/index.html.
