Delete a PDB

To delete a PDB follow these steps:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Database Provisioning. In the Database Provisioning page, in the Related Links section of the left menu pane, click Provision Pluggable Databases.
  2. In the Provision Pluggable Database Console, in the CDB section, select the CDB from which you want to delete the PDBs.
  3. In the PDB Operations section, select Delete Pluggable Databases.
  4. Click Launch.
  5. In the Select PDBs page of the Delete Pluggable Databases Wizard, click Add to select the PDBs that you want to delete, then click Select.
  6. In the CDB Host Credentials section, select or specify the target CDB Oracle Home owner host credentials. If you have already registered the credentials with Enterprise Manager, you can select Preferred or Named. Otherwise, you can select New and enter the credentials. For Exadata Cloud RAC use the opc or su - oracle user for Normal Host credentials.
  7. In the Schedule page, enter a unique deployment procedure instance name and a schedule for the deployment.

    You can run the procedure Immediately or Later and provide time zone, start date, and start time details.

    You can optionally set a grace period for this schedule. A grace period is a period of time that defines the maximum permissible delay when attempting to run a scheduled procedure. If the procedure does not start within the grace period you have set, then the procedure skips running. To set a grace period, select Grace Period, and set the permissible delay time.

  8. Click Next.
  9. In the Review page, review the details you have provided for the deployment procedure. If you are satisfied with the details, click Submit.
  10. In the Procedure Activity page, view the status of the procedure. From the Procedure Actions menu, you can select Debug to set the logging level to Debug, and select Stop to stop the procedure execution.
