How to encrypt plugged PDB inside a encrypted CDB

 Encrypting a plugged Pluggable Database (PDB) inside an encrypted Container Database (CDB) in Oracle involves using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). The PDB you are plugging into an encrypted CDB will inherit the encryption settings of the CDB if done correctly. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do this. Pre-requisites: Oracle Advanced Security : You need Oracle Advanced Security option (or the Oracle Database Vault option) to use Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). TDE Wallet Setup : Your CDB must already be encrypted, which means that TDE and the encryption wallet are configured at the CDB level. Steps to Encrypt a Plugged PDB Inside an Encrypted CDB: 1. Ensure the CDB is Encrypted : First, confirm that the CDB into which you are plugging the PDB is already encrypted and using TDE. Check Wallet Status : Connect to the CDB and run the following SQL query to check the TDE wallet status: SQL> SELECT * FROM v$encryption_wallet;   The wallet should show the status OPEN . Check
