DBA_PDBS

DBA_PDBS describes PDBs belonging to a given CDB.

When queried from a CDB root, this view describes all PDBs that belong to the CDB. When queried from an application root, it describes all PDBs that belong to the application container. When queried from a regular PDB or from an application PDB, it describes the regular PDB or the application PDB.

Column Datatype NULL Description
PDB_ID NUMBER NOT NULL Container ID of the PDB
PDB_NAME VARCHAR2(128) NOT NULL Name of the PDB
DBID NUMBER NOT NULL PDB identifier calculated when the PDB is created and stored in all file headers associated with the PDB
CON_UID NUMBER NOT NULL Unique identifier associated with the container
GUID RAW(16)   Globally unique immutable ID assigned to the PDB at creation time
STATUS VARCHAR2(10)  

State of the PDB. Possible values:

  • NEW - The PDB has never been opened since it was created. It must be opened in READ WRITE mode for Oracle to perform processing needed to complete the integration of the PDB into the CDB and mark it NORMAL. An error will be thrown if an attempt is made to open the PDB read only.

  • NORMAL - The PDB is ready to be used.

  • UNPLUGGED - The PDB has been unplugged. The only operation that can be performed on it is DROP PLUGGABLE DATABASE.

  • RELOCATING: The PDB is in the process of being relocated to a different CDB.

  • RELOCATED: The PDB has been relocated to a different CDB.

  • REFRESHING: The PDB is a refresh PDB.

  • STANDBY: The PDB is a Data Guard standby PDB.

  • UNDEFINED: The PDB is in an undefined state.

  • UNUSABLE - The PDB is being created or an unrecoverable error was encountered during its creation. The PDB cannot be opened while its state is set to UNUSABLE. If the PDB remains in this state because of an error encountered during its creation, it can only be dropped. The alert log can be checked to determine if there was an error during PDB creation.

CREATION_SCN NUMBER   Creation SCN
VSN NUMBER   The version number of the PDB
LOGGING VARCHAR2(9)  

Shows the current logging mode for the PDB. Possible values:

  • LOGGING

  • NOLOGGING

FORCE_LOGGING VARCHAR2(3)  

Specifies whether force logging is turned on for the PDB. Possible values:

  • NO

  • YES

FORCE_NOLOGGING VARCHAR2(3)  

Specifies whether force nologging is turned on for the PDB. Possible values:

  • NO

  • YES

APPLICATION_ROOT VARCHAR2(3)   Indicates whether the PDB is an application root.
APPLICATION_PDB VARCHAR2(3)   Indicates whether a PDB is an application PDB
APPLICATION_SEED VARCHAR2(3)   Indicates whether a PDB is an application seed (an application seed is also an application PDB)
APPLICATION_ROOT_CON_ID NUMBER  

If this PDB is an application PDB, the container ID of an application root to which this application PDB belongs.

If this PDB is an application root clone, the container ID of an application root to which this application root clone belongs.

Otherwise, NULL.

IS_PROXY_PDB VARCHAR2(3)   Indicates whether this PDB is a proxy PDB
CON_ID NUMBER NOT NULL

The ID of the container that CON_DBID identifies. Possible values include:

  • 0: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to the entire multitenant container database (CDB). This value is also used for rows in non-CDBs.

  • 1: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to only the root

  • n: Where n is the applicable container ID for the rows containing data

UPGRADE_PRIORITY NUMBER   The upgrade priority of the PDB.
APPLICATION_CLONE VARCHAR2(3)   Indicates whether this PDB is an application root clone (YES) or not (NO)
FOREIGN_CDB_DBID NUMBER   The foreign CDB’s DBID
UNPLUG_SCN NUMBER   SCN at which the PDB was unplugged
FOREIGN_PDB_ID NUMBER   The foreign PDB ID
CREATION_TIME DATE NOT NULL PDB creation timestamp
REFRESH_MODE VARCHAR2(6)  

PDB refresh mode. Possible values:

  • MANUAL

  • AUTO

REFRESH_INTERVAL NUMBER   PDB refresh interval. This is applicable only when REFRESH_MODE is AUTO.
TEMPLATE VARCHAR2(3)   For internal use only
LAST_REFRESH_SCN NUMBER   System change number (SCN) of the last refresh operation
TENANT_ID VARCHAR2(255)   Pluggable database tenant key
SNAPSHOT_MODE VARCHAR2(6)   Pluggable database snapshot mode
SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL NUMBER   Pluggable database snapshot interval, in minutes
CREDENTIAL_NAME VARCHAR2(262)   Credential object name associated with the PDB
LAST_REFRESH_TIME DATE   Time of the last refresh operation
CLOUD_IDENTITY VARCHAR2(32767)   Cloud identifier for the PDB
SOURCE_PDB_NAME VARCHAR2(128)   Name of the source PDB
SOURCE_DB_LINK VARCHAR2(128)   Name of the source database link
PRIORITY NUMBER  

The priority of the PDB when performing an OPEN or SAVE STATE operation on multiple PDBs with a single ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE statement

If a priority is not assigned to the PDB, then the value of this column is null.

An operation is performed first on the PDB with the lowest PRIORITY number, then on the PDB with the second lowest PRIORITY number, and so on. The operation is then performed on PDBs with no assigned priority, if any, in no particular order.
