System and method for integrating a database with a service deployed on a cloud platform

摘要

Described herein are systems and methods for integrating a database into a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a system includes a service management engine (SME) configured to execute in the cloud environment and to access a provider type including coordinates to a database and authentication information for the database. When a service deployed to the cloud environment requests use of a database, the provider type can trigger creation of the database and a schema for use by the associated provider. In accordance with an embodiment, the provider type can include coordinates to a container database (CDB) and authentication information for the CDB. When a service deployed in the cloud environment requests a database, the provider type can trigger creation, via the CDB, of a pluggable database (PDB), with a schema for use by the service.
