Administering Pluggable Databases
Oracle Database Exadata Cloud at Customer provides APIs to administer Oracle Multitenant pluggable databases (PDBs).
The PDB administration APIs are provided using the dbaascli
utility, which is part of the cloud-specific tooling included in Exadata Cloud at Customer. The APIs can be used interactively or programmatically, and provide a simple mechanism for performing PDB lifecycle management operations. The APIs are specifically customized for Exadata Cloud at Customer and operate in conjunction with the database configuration standards that are implemented in Exadata Cloud at Customer.
The PDB administration APIs only support databases that are not in a Data Guard configuration and use Oracle Database version 12.2.0.1, or later.
The following table outlines the supported PDB lifecycle management operations:
