Ok, I promised to write more about patching speed. And this blog post will be just the root post targeting datapatch speed.

Database Migration from non-CDB to PDB – Plug in, upgrade, convert

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Single-/Multitenant 2

This is my next blog post about Database Migration from non-CDB to PDB – Plug in, upgrade, convert. But what is different from the previous one? And why is it necessary?
