First, connect to either the container database or one of the pluggable databases running out of your container database. In this example, I chose to connect to the CDB.
1. Display the current container using the "show con_name" or "show con_id" in sqlplus
SQL> show con_name CON_NAME ------------------------------ CDB$ROOT --> We are connectted to the ROOT container.
Switch to a different container, and try again:
SQL> alter session set container=vpdb01; Session altered. SQL> show con_name CON_NAME ------------------------------ VPDB01 --> We are now connected to the container named VPDB01. SQL> show con_id CON_ID ------------------------------ 6 --> The current container id is 6.
2. Display the current container using the SYS_CONTEXT function
In the example below I have thrown in a couple of other useful parameters, along with the
"con_name" and the "con_id" parameters:
col "container id" format a20 col "container name" format a20 col "container id" format a10 col "Current schema" format a20 col SID format a10 set lines 200 select SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','con_name') "container name", SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','con_id') "container id", SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','CURRENT_SCHEMA') "Current schema", SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','SID') "SID" FROM DUAL; container name container id Current schema SID -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------- VPDB01 6 SYSTEM 63
From the output above, we see that we are connected to the container name VPDB01 with con_id 6.
Switch to the root container again, and verify that we are now connected to the ROOT container:
SQL> alter session set container=CDB$ROOT; Session altered.Rerun the SYS_CONTEXT statement:
select SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','con_name') "container name", SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','con_id') "container id", SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','CURRENT_SCHEMA') "Current schema", SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','SID') "SID" FROM DUAL; container name container id Current schema SID -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------- CDB$ROOT 1 SYSTEM 63
3. Display the current container using V$CONTAINERS view
This final method only makes sense if you are connected to a non-root container.
SQL> alter session set container=vpdb01; Session altered.The result:
SQL> select CON_ID,DBID,name,OPEN_MODE 2 from v$containers order by con_id; CON_ID DBID NAME OPEN_MODE ---------- ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- 6 2049231443 VPDB01 READ WRITE
If you are connected to the root container, and when querying the v$container, the resulting output will list all containers in your cdb:
SQL> select CON_ID,DBID,name,OPEN_MODE 2 from v$containers order by con_id; CON_ID DBID NAME OPEN_MODE ---------- ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- 1 2294367729 CDB$ROOT READ WRITE 2 3254699093 PDB$SEED READ ONLY 6 2049231443 VPDB01 READ WRITE 3 rows selected.I have also written a short blog post about the same topic here, but with a slightly different angle.
Good blog
