Create a Container Database (CDB) With A Subset Of Options Using DBCA

For 12.1.0.2,  How to Create a Container Database (CDB) With Selected Options 

For 12.2.0.1, we don’t need create scripts from DBCA first, then manually modify scripts, and run the scripts sequentially to create a CDB/PDB database with required options in both CDB and PDB.

In 12.2.0.1, CDB and PDB can have different options installed. here are the steps to do so :

1)Launch DBCA -> Create a Database -> Advanced Configuration -> Custom Database -> ……->……-> Database Options:

we can select all components for CDB$ROOT, and subset of options for PDB according to your licence bought from Oracle.

Please note below three components have been disabled as per Oracle Doc ID 948061.1.

Oracle Advanced Analytics

Oracle OLAP

Oracle Real Application Testing

2) Continue the rest steps, and create the database.

3) Check the options installed in both CDB and CDB.
