PDB not Opening

HabibJan 19 2020 — edited Jan 20 2020

Hello

I am using Oracle 18c XE on Linux. For some reasons my datafiles have grown beyond 12GB limit by Oracle XE. I don't know why as Oracle throws an error if an attempt is made to resize a datafile beyond 12GB total limit. May be it is due to autoextend.

I rebooted the server today and the PDB is not opening.

SQL> show pdbs

    CON_ID CON_NAME   OPEN MODE  RESTRICTED

---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------

  2 PDB$SEED   MOUNTED

  3 XEPDB1   MOUNTED

SQL> alter pluggable database xepdb1 open;

alter pluggable database xepdb1 open

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-12954: The request exceeds the maximum allowed database size of 12 GB.

I want to reduce a datafile size or drop some schema/tablespace  but I cannot as the the PDB is in mount state

Can someone please help?

I am stuck.

Habib
