This document discusses the creation of a multitenant container database (CDB) and pluggable databases (PDBs) in Oracle Database 12c. It covers creating a CDB using Oracle Universal Installer, Database Configuration Assistant, or manually. The manual process involves setting enable_pluggable_database to true, adding clauses to the CREATE DATABASE command, and running a script that creates the root and seed PDBs. The document also provides commands to validate if a database is a CDB and view its containers.
