Looking for good naming conventions for CDB and PDBs in 12c

james_pJul 17 2015 — edited Jul 18 2015

DB version: 12.1.0.2 in Oracle Linux 6.6

We are new to 12C.

We were planning to create two 11.2.0.4 production DBs : jpcmprd and mhcmprd . Each will be around 5 Terbytes by end of this year.

Later , apps team changed their mind and said they want to host these DBs in 12.1.0.2 (3-node RAC cluster).

So, in 12C, jpcmprd and mhcmprd will be Pluggable databaseses in a container DB.

We could just name our container DB 'CDB' and the pluggable databases jpcmprd and mhcmprd . But, before that, we were just interested in knowing the conventions you guys follow in naming CDB and PDBs in a 12C DB .Let us know if you have any suggestions.

Database names of both CDB and PDBs are limited to 8 characters like in the old version. Right?
