This illustration shows two CDBs. Both CDBs have a CDB$ROOT
container, a PDB$SEED
container plugged into the root, and several PDBs plugged into the root. The bottom CDB has one new PDB. The illustration
shows a database link going from the bottom CDB to the source PDBs in the top CDB. The illustration shows the files of the
source PDB. The illustration shows the source PDB files copied to a new location. The copied files are the files of the new
PDB. The illustration shows the copied files associated with the new PDB. A CREATE
PLUGGABLE
DATABASE
...
FROM
statement uses these copied files to create the new PDB.
