Chuck,

We've got near as many instances as you (40 at last count) but in three different locations(2 in Mass although there 10 miles apart and one in CA). Consequently there are three DBA's. You also might want to take a head count of what I refer to as "screaming mimesis" (end users who whenever anything wrong happens must be experiencing the end of the world). One dba per 5 of these appears to be the right balance! *-)

I'm trying to build a case for management that we need additional DBAs so I'd like to take a quick poll if I may. What is the ratio of Oracle databases to DBAs in your shop? This includes development and production databases. At our shop it's 33:1.
