Re: same application on multiple schemas

How many users per schema? This "scheme" sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Do they need separate schemas or do they need separate databases instances?

Oh, like SQLServer? not sure why you would never need to do that... I have not found a good reason yet...

Is this for DR or something different?

If you learn to design applications properly, you may not need to do what you think you want to do... I find those sort of apps non-scalable either horizontally (RAC for example) OR vertically (bigger box(es)). Use the database engine to it's full potential. Do not cripple it with a bad application design. (I have worked on online db's that do hundreds-of-thousands/txn/hr and data warehouses that is hundreds of TB in size - never had the need to do anything like you think you want to do. I find that these sorts of "apps" designs to be inadequately define and/or funded. If you do it right the first time, you won't need to do it again.
