Description of the illustration admin119.eps

This illustration shows a CDB with a CDB$ROOT container, a PDB$SEED container plugged into the root, and several PDBs plugged into the root. There is an application container plugged into the CDB root. The application container has an application seed and several application PDBs plugged into it. One application PDB is being unplugged from the application container. The illustration shows two ways to unplug the application PDB:

• One way shows the database files and the XML metadata file of the unplugged application PDB. An ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE ... UNPLUG INTO statement unplugs the application PDB.

• Another way shows the database files and the XML metadata file of the unplugged application PDB in a single .PDB file. An ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE ... UNPLUG INTO statement unplugs the application PDB.
