You are about to plug a multi-terabyte non-CDB into an existing multitenant container database (CDB). The characteristics of the non-CDB are as follows: ✑ Version: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2.0) 64-bit ✑ Character Set: AL32UTF8 ✑ National Character Set: AL16UTF16 ✑ O/S: Oracle Linux 6 64-bit The characteristics of the CDB are as follows: ✑ Version: Oracle Database 12c Release 1 64-bit ✑ Character Set: AL32UTF8 ✑ National Character Set: AL16UTF16 ✑ O/S: Oracle Linux 6 64-bit Which technique should you use to minimize down time while plugging this non-CDB into the CDB? 

Answer options:

A. Transportable database
B. Transportable tablespace
C. Data Pump full export/import
D. The DBMS_PDB package
E. RMAN

B

Transportable tablespaces were introduced in Oracle 8i to allow whole tablespaces to be copied between databases in the time it takes to copy the datafiles. It is supported in Oracle 11g. Incorrect Answers: A: Using Transportable database with the "FULL=Y TRANSPORTABLE=ALWAYS VERSION=12" parameters allows you to plug in an 11.2.0.3 or later non-CDB 11g database, not an 11.2.0.2.0 database. D: The DBMS_PDB package allows you to generate an XML metadata file from a non-CDB 12c database. This allows the non-CDB to be plugged in as a PDB into an existing CDB. However, the non-CBD is an 11g (11.2.0.2.0) database.
