Cloning a Database

Cloning a Database in OracleDB for Azure is accomplished from the blade for the database you wish to clone. Each blade is slightly different and so are the database details, but the process is similar.

  1. Go to the database blade for the database you wish to clone.

  5. The command to Clone the database will be submitted. The database details will update when the database has been cloned. Use the Refresh icon to see this.
