Transportable tablespaces allows a tablespace to plugged in to another database. However you need a self-contained set of tablespaces, and they shouldn't be in use when transporting.

That might be true, but then Oracle is a corporate database, and Sukkelserver is a departemental product, and will never turn into something corporate.

If you are looking to turn Oracle into Sukkelserver you are wrong. Oracle is a completely different product, it is NOT Sukkelserver sold by a different vendors.
Porting Sukkelserver databases has never worked and has made the lives of thousands of Oracle DBAs miserable, You seem to want to continue on this path.

Please get deprogrammed as soons as possible, and UNlearn everything you learned about Sukkelserver!!!!
