Abstract
A pluggable tablespace is enabled by logically partitioning a database into a set of tablespaces. A pluggable set of tablespaces is stored on a transportable medium in which all the disk pointers of the pluggable set is stored in tablespace-relative format. In addition, the pluggable set includes exported associated metadata about objects contained in the pluggable set. The pluggable set is plugged into a target database by making the pluggable set accessible to the target database and importing the associated metadata, without patching any of the disk pointers.
