In a CDB, most user data is in the PDBs. The root contains no user data or minimal user data. Plan for the PDBs that will be part of the CDB.
The disk storage space requirement for a CDB is the space required for the Oracle Database installation plus the sum of the space requirements
for all of the PDBs that will be part of the CDB. A CDB can contain up to 4,096 PDBs,
but you can limit the CDB to a smaller number of PDBs by setting the MAX_PDBS
initialization parameter.
You can also create application containers in a CDB. An application container is a collection of application PDBs
that store the data for one or more applications. In addition, application containers support user-created application
common objects that can be shared by the application PDBs in the application container.
