  • Container Database (CDB) :- Container database contains the Oracle Metadata.This database includes control files, data files, temp files, etc. and this includes the data dictionary for those objects which are owned by the root container.
  • Pluggable Database (PDB):- Pluggable Database contains the data files and temp files to handle PDB's objects only, and this includes the data dictionary for those objects which are in PDB only.
