I'm new to Oracle's pluggable databases (we still use Oracle 11.2 at work). For a test of partitions and subpartitions, I'll need to create a couple of dozen tablespaces. I thought, I'd quickly clone my current database, do the tests, and drop the database afterwards.
I was able to clone the database:
CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE ora193p2 FROM ora193p1
FILE_NAME_CONVERT = (
'/opt/oracle/oradata/ORA193C/ORA193P1/',
'/opt/oracle/oradata/ORA193C/ORA193P2/');
Pluggable database ORA193P2 created.
but got an error ORA-01109: database not open
when trying to connect to it.
I've tried to open it, but get an error message, too (ora193c is the name of the cdb):
ALTER DATABASE ora193p2 OPEN;
ORA-01509: specified name 'ORA193P2' does not match actual 'ORA193C'
I used the database from vagrant-boxes.
For pluggable databases you need to add key word pluggable database followed by pdb name
