Sitting in the Yerba Buena Garden, listening to Andy Mendelsohn talking about Oracle Database 12c.

Here my staccato notes:

Container databases to include multiple Databases as we know them (before 12c) to do database consolidation.

Demoing Pluggable Databases

As to be expected the demo runs in an EM12c console.

Resource Management now realy comes true.

Simplify Patching and Upgrades

Apply changes once, all pluggable Databases updated

Backup Databases as one, Recover at Pluggable Databases

Fast flexible copy and snapshot of pluggable databases, cloning databases for test, development etc.

Perfect for SaaS

New architecture for consolidating databases on Clouds

Sounds like a great improvement and should be released soon!
