Normally the fields are automatically filled as soon as you add the name of the new PDB. Now I can use that PDB as the source for the new PDB named TW1. So first I have to open the TUK1 database read only. My intention is to clone the TUK1 PDB to a TW1 PDB. If you want to clone an existing PDB this one has to be opened read only. With the “+” a wizard shows up and allows you to clone an existing PDB or simply use the seed database as source for your new pluggable database. So let’s add a pluggable database to our existing CDB. But Toad 12.1 brings some major enhancements and it’s unbelievable how easy the management of PDBs can become.Īs the Database Browser in Toad more and more becomes the central point of administration it’s obvious that you find all necessary tasks to create, manage, plug and unplug a pluggable database here.

In one of my previous blogs I already mentioned the ability of managing Pluggable Databases in Toad 12. Many articles are available in the web and on ToadWorld there are already several blogs discussing this feature. For many of us DBAs or Developers in can be a dramatic shift as it requires different thinking of how the “database” is working or how we define a database from now on. Multitenant or pluggable database is probably the most discussed feature in Oracle 12c.
