ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

When trying to copy PDB using
SQL> create pluggable database TARGET_PDB from SOURCE_PDB;
you may face this error

the solution is very simple,
you need to increase the parmarter  DB_FILES


SQL> show parameter db_files;

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_files                             integer     200


key points:

when PDB is closed - the files still exists but you won't see them when counting from 
CDB_DATA_FILES view.

to  drop a pluggabe database including his datafiles use this command:

SQL> drop pluggable database PDB_NAME including datafiles;

ora-65035 while create pluggable database from another one

or : ORA-21000: error number argument to raise_application_error of -65035 is out of range Cause: this error caused because of an unrecoverable transaction in the source DB. Solution: 1. either stop and start your pluggable source DB 2. identify the open transaction and kill it if you can. use this query to do so: select * from v$transaction t,v$session  s where t.ses_addr = s.saddr;
