Which two are true about creating pluggable databases (PDBs) using snapshots in Oracle 19c and later releases? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: C,G
G:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/multi/cloning-a-pdb.html#GUID- F26C8A55-2465-475A-905A-83BD2E68AE6E and then create a SNAPSHOT COPY PDB from the standalone PDB.
C:
Storage requirements depend on the setting of the CLONEDB initialization parameter:
CLONEDB=FALSE
The underlying file system for the source PDB files must support storage snapshots. Such file systems include Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) and Direct NFS Client storage. Oracle Exadata supports snapshot copy functionality on ASM configured with sparse ASM grid disks.
CLONEDB=TRUE
The underlying file system for the source PDB files can be any local file system, network file system (NFS), or clustered file system that has Direct NFS enabled and supports sparse files.
Most UNIX systems meet these requirements, including Oracle ACFS and ZFS. However, when CLONEDB=TRUE, the source PDB must remain in open read-only mode when clones exist.
