User friendly database that is easy for my team to run
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
  • "This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."

What is most valuable?

The feature that I like about Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database.

What needs improvement?

In terms of what can be improved, the interface is ok. I don't know what can be better. I don't see any problem. 

I would say that the portable database should not be open as the default. That causes you to lose time.

I would also like to see an easier way to give answers when I'm working, but I think that is more about my understanding of how to work the container database. This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Multitenant for less than one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of stability, I don't see any bugs.

How was the initial setup?

Regarding the initial setup, I think some people who are using the Oracle DB find it is easy, not so difficult. I installed it only for a test on a computer, not on a server. 

When I installed it on some machines, it was easy and took one hour, I think.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to anyone considering it. Oracle is a more automated database. Everywhere now I see more and more automation and it is the best administration. You can always use Multitenant.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Oracle Multitenant a nine.

It allows a container database to hold many pluggable databases.

Improvements to My Organization:

It's a really great new option for Database 12c. I think there's huge potential because it allows a container database to hold many pluggable databases. I love using it, even though there's not much information out there about it. People will realize how good it is at adopting databases without application changes.

Room for Improvement:

Oracle has a lot of work to do with Multitenant because it's a new feature. For example, it prevents you from actually using it if your database has certain features that it doesn't yet support. We'll have to wait and see if the next release fixes some of these issues.

Use of Solution:

Multitenant came out with Database 12c release 12.1, which was about two years ago. I've been using it since then.

Deployment Issues:

We've had deployment issues because it's so new that there are some features of our database that aren't supported.

Stability Issues:

It's stable, but it takes a lot of time to adopt all other products to use it as well. It's sad that Oracle's killed off some support for Multitenant with some features, such as Streams, CDC, and others. Release 12.2 covered some of the gaps, but feature releases need more coverage.

Scalability Issues:

Release 12.2 has really improved on scalability. If you put 250 pluggable databases on one machine and the resource manager isn't up to par, you can't really move it around much.

Initial Setup:

It was a fairly straightforward initial setup. We didn't have much trouble with it.

Implementation Team:

We implemented it ourselves.

It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it.

I have been working with Oracle for twenty-five years now, but two years with this solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
