This document discusses Oracle's Multitenant architecture, which allows multiple pluggable databases (PDBs) to be consolidated within a single multitenant container database (CDB). Key points include: the multitenant architecture enables more efficient use of system resources by requiring memory and processes only at the container level; PDBs can be unplugged from one CDB and plugged into another for improved portability and flexibility; and multitenant capabilities include simplified management, backup/recovery, patching and upgrades across all PDBs.
