Provisioning a Pluggable Database

You can provision a pluggable database (PDB) on an existing container database (CDB) running in a provisioned database working copy.

After you create a working copy of a gold image, provision that working copy to a target, and create a database as a multitenant CDB, you can add a PDB to the CDB using the rhpctl addpdb database command.

The following command example creates a PDB called pdb19c on a CDB called raccdb19c, which is on a working copy called wc_db19c:
```
$ rhpctl addpdb database -workingcopy wc_db19c -cdbname raccdb19c -pdbname pdb19c
```
Use the rhpctl deletepdb database command to delete a PDB from an existing CDB on a working copy.
The following command example deletes a PDB called pdb19c on a CDB called raccdb19c, which is on a working copy called wc_db19c:
```
$ rhpctl deletepdb database -workingcopy wc_db19c -cdbname raccdb19c -pdbname pdb19c
```
