I personally was hesitant to move to a new version of the database and to switch to a new architecture at the same time. We have stayed with the non-cdb architecture.

I remember a panel discussion when multi tenancy was first introduced which responded to the question of why MSSQL had "the same thing for free". with you really cannot compare the two, imitating the MSSQL approach to multitenancy was inferior.

How do they differ?

I'ved asked this question over the last couple year to various consultants and I think on here once. It seemed like the majority of response I got where that people where still doing the non-CDB traditional install in Production. I went with traditional install for a few reasons

1. In the beginning of testing NetApp storage snaps didn't support PDBs or 12.2.  They do now
2. I wanted to go to 12c quicker than taking the time to learn multitenancy
3. Plus we are migrating from Windows to Linux and 11.2.0.4 to 12.2.01 at the same time so wanted to limit the amount of things changing and learning at once.
4. We have 4 databases running on this one server and I just though it was silly to have 4 CDBs with 1 PDB each.  Maybe this isn't, I don't know.

I really feel that Multitenancy should be included at no cost. If they want to de-support traditional install and force us this route it should be included. Like someone said MSSQL already has this. Or drop the price. $17,500 per cpu is crazy. If they want use to use it and promote it, it needs to be included or cheap enough that it is a no-brainier.

Totally agree.

More cost and more complex administration; just what we need.

Hi Neil!

Multi-tenant doesn't make any sense because the resources it will save are much, much cheaper than the cost of the multi-tenant option. Also, the competitors (DB2, SQL Server, SAP Hana) are all allowing creation of additional databases for free. I don't see why would I need to pay for the same feature with Oracle?
