====== Switch to a pluggable db (Oracle 12) ======

After you are connected with sqlplus to a container database (which is happening by default), run the connect command inside your sqlplus session.

<code sql>
conn SYS@PMJ as SYSDBA
</code>
Then you'll be required to enter the SYS password. \\
<note>
  * If you use a non dba user, don't specify 'as SYSDBA' clause.
  * Here PMJ is the name of the pluggable database. 
</note>

Another way to switch to a PDB is to change the container:

<code sql>
alter session set container=PMJ;
</code>

To go back to the CDB container:

<code sql>
alter session set container=CDB$ROOT;
</code>


====== Connect directly to a pluggable db ======

<code>
sqlplus /nolog
connect SNT@PMJ
</code>
