Container database

Question

I'm kind of new to oracle databases. When I'm about to create a database there is an option called : Create as Container database I'm not too sure what does it mean can someone explain it please?

Answer 1

"someone could explain it in a few lines to make it less confusing "

Have you heard of Docker? It's like that but for Oracle databases.

You say you're just starting out. My advice is to ignore pluggable containers and start by learning Oracle SQL. When you can read the documentation without being confused then you should have a look at containers.

Containers are highly neat, but they are a chargeable extra to the Enterprise License so not many organizations use them right now. So not knowing about containers isn't much of a hindrance.
