12c database - empty container vs PDB

John-MKJul 28 2014 — edited Jul 29 2014

Hello,

I have created 12.1.0.1 single instance with EMPTY CONTAINER Database on RHL6. Now, as soon as I started creating users, I am getting errors which tells. COMMONS USERS or LOCAL USERS in the PDB.

I have no experience on 12.c yet, and thats why I am confused here what to do. Because there is no such requirement for taking advantage of PDBs. I thought of upgrading myself but it seems its telling me I am 12c :-)

Now I am just thinking how to proceed: Options according to my weak 12c understanding are:

- Convert this empty container database back to NON-Container or Standard (at least I know the administration) ?, By the way is it possible to convert container database to non-container one?

- Create a Pluggable database in this container db?

My confusion is that this empty container database is created successfully, can't I use this itself as a independent database? I dont want to create PDB at the moment (may be in coming time).

I mean I chose the EMPTY CONTAINER DATABASE so that I do not need to convert NON-CONTAINER db to container and so on.

Please suggest me what you think, how should I proceed.

Bundle of thanks.

Kind regards
