This document discusses how to unplug and plug pluggable databases in Oracle 12c. It shows how to: 1. Unplug two pluggable databases named "new" and "new2" into XML files. 2. Drop the databases while keeping the datafiles. 3. Check for compatibility before plugging the databases into another container. 4. Plug the databases back into the container using the XML files with the "nocopy" and "copy" clauses.
