1z0-060 Upgrade to 12c: Valid options for adding a pluggable database (PDB) to an existing multitenant container database (CDB)

Create a PDB by using the seed

Create a PDB in a CDB using the files of the seed. This technique copies the files associated with the seed to a new location and associates the copied files with the new PDB.

Create a PDB by cloning an existing PDB or non-CDB

Create a PDB by cloning a source PDB or non-CDB and plugging the clone into the CDB. A source can be a PDB in the local CDB, a PDB in a remote CDB, or a non-CDB. This technique copies the files associated with the source to a new location and associates the copied files with the new PDB.

Create a PDB by plugging an unplugged PDB into a CDB

Create a PDB by using the XML metadata file that describes the PDB and the files associated with the PDB to plug it into the CDB.

Create a PDB by using a non-CDB

Create a PDB by moving a non-CDB into a PDB. You can use the DBMS_PDB package to create an unplugged PDB from an Oracle Database 12c non-CDB. You can then plug the unplugged PDB into the CDB.
