'Identify oracle Container Databases (CDB) without connecting
We have a custom inventory system, for tracking all of our database, including Oracle v12 and v19 based databases. But as our DBA team has work with Container Databases (CDB), we need to identify, which one is a standalone or container, but we don't have any option to connection to the, due to our security policy. Is there any way to Identify oracle Container Databases (CDB), without connecting to them?
As after reviewing Oracle official documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMIN/cdb_mon.htm#ADMIN14174.
It seems that it's not possible, as the documented clearly mentioning, that first, it's necessary to connect to the database, and only then to run the following command: SELECT CDB FROM V$DATABASE;
And if the CDB column returns YES, the current database is a CDB. and NO, if the current database is a non-CDB.
