I
would be tempted to leave them in the same instance, but use resource consumer
groups to control them. Also, I would have their schemas (and associated
objects) in different tablespaces, just to make management easier too, for
things like backups, space management etc.

If
the two applications hit their peak loads at different times, then this would be
perfect :0)

RE: Splitting a database: pro and cons
Quick thoughts Downside
Resource overhead of another instance (system temp tablespace
memory etc) Support requirements <FONT
size=2>Conectivity between the 2 instances via db_links although if theye are
on the same server network traffic is negated
Upside Upgrade paths can be different
which is especially important when different vendors are involved
Service Level Agreements are easier to manage
No performance impact from one application on the other as
far as Oracle is concerned (still need to monitor O/S) <FONT
size=2>Backup strategy - hot cold, archivelog etc can be different as
necessary Tuning can be more specific for each vendor
app especially instance wide from the init.ora parameter
I am sure there are lots more

Hi list,
I have two applications running against one database (in fact
I have a few but for the sake of this question two are
enough). The two apps have different upgrade
patterns and I would like to split them in two databases <FONT
size=2>that will be on the same unix server. There are some views that
are used extensively that join data from both
apps/schemas, and after the split those should be made
using db links. I did some tests and comparisons of queries
going through links versus running them directly on the
database, and did not see a lot of difference.
Does anybody see or know of any downside in splitting the
database in two :-(. And any advantage
:-). What is the general strategy when installing <FONT
size=2>different apps (from different vendors) - put them on separate
databases or combining them.
Thanks.
