Oracle 12c PDB without Oracle Multitenant license

kbaskarNov 22 2016 — edited Nov 22 2016

In Oracle 12c without the multitenant option we can still use the CDB architecture.

If I use the non-multitenant license with the limitation that I won’t have more than one PDB, I shouldn’t be violating the Oracle licensing terms.

can anyone you please confirm this assumption?

Thanks,

Baskar

Yes, you can create one PDB without license and no you won't violate any oracle license. See more details here: https://blogs.oracle.com/RobertGFreeman/entry/oracle_multitenant_should_you_move

Yes - Oracle can confirm/deny it.

Only Oracle can answer licensing questions.

Before contacting your Oracle support rep I suggest you read the licensing info.

https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DBLIC/editions.htm#DBLIC116

Oracle supports using multi-tenant with only ONE pdb and has deprecated the non-multi-tenant architecture.

Hi,

You don't need an option when you have only one pluggable database.

You can detect violation with:

select name, aux_count from dba_feature_usage_statistics where name like '%Pluggable%' or name like '%Multitenant%';

If AUX_COUNT is >1 then you need to buy the option, or drop the additional PDBs

In 12.2 you can set MAX_PDBS to 1 to be sure nobody creates more than allowed.

Here are the features you can use in this configuration (know as 'single-tenant'): http://www.slideshare.net/pachot/12cr2-singletenant-multitenant-features-for-all-editions

Regards,

Franck.
