> #### Managed versus scripted databases

> A database recognized and managed by the AdminServer is called managed.

> A database not managed by an AdminServer is called scripted. Scripted databases are administered outside the AdminServer using parameter files (.`pf`) and operating system-dependent scripts.

> You can elect to migrate a scripted database to a managed database. To migrate a scripted database to a managed database, perform the steps in the "Database migration" section.
