Is it common to have multiple CDBs in a physical server ?

BlueSkiesMay 22 2020 — edited Aug 18 2020

DB version: 19c

OS version: OL 8.2 (proposed)

Physical server has 96 CPU cores, 512 GB RAM

I am a newbie to the multitenant world.

I have a requirement to run 3 OLTP DBs and 1 DWH database in a physical server. All DBs will have the same version (19.3.0.0.0).

I was hoping to run create one CDB and then create these 4 (3 OLTP + 1 DWH) databases as pluggable databases. But, my Data Warehousing DB has different init.ora requirements like db_block_size=16K. So, I guess, I need to create a separate container database with just one DWH pluggable database. Right ?

Another related question:

Is there a list of things which cannot be altered within PDBs, not just initialization parameters? At least the top annoying ones.
