Prepare to create the CDB by research and careful planning.

Table 37-1 lists some recommended actions and considerations that apply to CDBs. For more information about many of the actions in Table 37-1, see Table 2-1.

Table 37-1 Planning for a CDB

Action    Considerations for a CDB    Additional Information
Plan the tables and indexes for the pluggable databases (PDBs) and estimate the amount of space they will require.

In a CDB, most user data is in the PDBs. The root contains no user data or minimal user data. Plan for the PDBs that will be part of the CDB. The disk storage space requirement
 for a CDB is the space required for the Oracle Database installation plus the sum of the space requirements for all of the PDBs that will be part of the CDB.
 A CDB can contain up to 253 PDBs, including the seed.最大253（且包含种子pdb）

37.2.1 Decide How to Configure the CDB

Prepare to create the CDB by research and careful planning.

Table 37-1 lists some recommended actions and considerations that apply to CDBs. For more information about many of the actions in Table 37-1, see Table 2-1.

Considerations for a CDB

In a CDB, most user data is in the PDBs. The root contains no user data or minimal user data. Plan for the PDBs that will be part of the CDB.

The disk storage space requirement for a CDB is the space required for the Oracle Database installation plus the sum of the space requirements

for all of the PDBs that will be part of the CDB. A CDB can contain up to 4,096 PDBs,

but you can limit the CDB to a smaller number of PDBs by setting the MAX_PDBS 

initialization parameter.

You can also create application containers in a CDB. An application container is a collection of application PDBs

that store the data for one or more applications. In addition, application containers support user-created application

common objects that can be shared by the application PDBs in the application container.
