10 Oracle Globally Distributed Database Administration

Oracle Globally Distributed Database provides tools and some automation for the administration of a sharded database.

Note:

A multitenant container database is the only supported architecture in Oracle Database 21c and later releases. While the documentation is being revised, legacy terminology may persist. In most cases, "database" and "non-CDB" refer to a CDB or PDB, depending on context. In some contexts, such as upgrades, "non-CDB" refers to a non-CDB from a previous release.
