Faster upgrade should be the benefit of having a slim dictionary where the system objects are reduced to metadata links and data links. However, it looks like upgrading the PDB dictionary still takes the same time as upgrading the CDB$ROOT.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is to create a DBaaS service with a new CDB in 18.1 and plug a PDB coming from 12.2.0.1. Actually, I&#8217;m saying 18.1 but that may be 18.0 as I&#8217;m now lost in those version numbers. The cloud service was created with version: &#8220;18.0.0.0&#8221;, V$VERSION displays 18.1.0.0 for the release and 18.0.0.0 for the version:<\/p>\n<pre><code>Connected to:\nOracle Database 18c Enterprise Edition Release 18.0.0.0.0 - Production\nVersion 18.1.0.0.0<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>My understanding is that the 18.0.0.0 is the version of the 18c dictionary, which will need a full upgrade only for 19c (19.0.0.0).

We already see some signs of it with &#8216;_enable_cdb_upgrade_capture&#8217; undocumented parameter and PDB_UPGRADE_SYNC database property. This may even become automatic when PDB is opened with the PDB_AUTO_UPGRADE property.
