Fixing ORA 65093 in Oracle 19c On OEL 7 9 1749644761

The document addresses the ORA-65093 error encountered when starting an Oracle 19c database, indicating a misconfiguration in the Container Database setup. The root cause is identified as the missing parameter 'enable_pluggable_database = true' in the initialization parameter file (PFILE). The resolution involves editing the PFILE to include the necessary parameter and restarting the database to restore functionality.

Resolving ORA-65093: Multitenant

Container Database Not Set Up Properly

Issue Summary

While attempting to start an Oracle 19c database using the STARTUP MOUNT
command, the following error was encountered:

ORA-65093: multitenant container database not set up properly

This error indicates that the Oracle instance is configured as a Container Database
(CDB), but the proper configuration parameter is missing from the initialization
parameter file (PFILE).

Symptoms

1. startup mount fails with:


2. ORA-65093: multitenant container database not set up properly
3. Checking database mode:

select cdb from v$database;


Output:
CDB
---
YES

This confirms the database is in CDB mode.

4. Checking available containers or PDBs returns no rows:

select name, open_mode, con_id from v$containers;


Output
no rows selected

5. Querying dba_pdbs or v$pdbs results in:


6. ORA-01219: database or pluggable database not open: queries allowed on
fixed tables or views only

Root Cause

The init.ora (PFILE) file used to start the database did not include the required
parameter:

enable_pluggable_database = true

This parameter is mandatory when running a Container Database (CDB). Without


it, Oracle cannot initialize the multitenant architecture properly.

Steps to Resolve

1. Locate the current PFILE

If you don’t already have a custom one, create it from the existing SPFILE:

create spfile from pfile = '/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs/init.ora';

2. Edit the PFILE

Open /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs/init.ora in your preferred


editor and add the following line:

enable_pluggable_database = true

Ensure the file includes this line along with other parameters like:

db_name='ORCL'
enable_pluggable_database = true
sga_target=512M
pga_aggregate_target=256M
...

3. Start the instance with the corrected PFILE

startup

4. Create a new SPFILE

create spfile from pfile = '/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs/init.ora';

5. Restart the database using SPFILE

shu immediate;
startup mount;

6. Verify the fix

show con_name;
show pdbs;
select name, open_mode from v$pdbs;

Conclusion

The ORA-65093 error is caused by a misconfigured initialization file for a


Container Database. Adding the line enable_pluggable_database = true to your
PFILE resolves the issue. Once the instance is restarted, you should be able to
access and manage your pluggable databases as expected
