Option -cdb
[[email protected] ~]# oakcli create database -h
Usage:
oakcli create database -db <db_name> [[[-oh <home>] | [-version
<version>]] [-params <params_file>] [-cdb]]
where:
db_name
- Name of the database to be created.
home
- Existing oracle home for creating the database. By
default we create a new database home.
version
- Database Version information for creating the
database home. [ex. 11.2.0.2.7] If not provided create the database home
from latest available bits.
params_file - Name of the db_config_parameter file [This file
can be created using using 'oakcli create db_config_params'].
If not provided, create the database using
default configuration file
cdb
- Creates this database as a container database
