RE: Development projects: Multiple databases v/s multiple schemas

Naveen

Advantages of single instance

• Easier to administer. I have multiple test instances and often have to go around getting permission to bounce instances to re-jigger the memory when one project needs more memory for some test.
• Easier to share data among projects.

Advantages of multiple instances

• Can bring instances up/down independently
• Can tune instance independently
• If a project requires a different Oracle version because of another constraint, like a front-end tool, different projects can have different Oracle versions.

Hi,

For multiple projects we are planning to have a centralized server(as opposed
to multiple servers, to improve managability) which all the development teams
will use for their backend work.

Now there are 2 ways in which to provide them access.

1. Have only 1 database for each version of Oracle Server installed and create schemas for individual teams for their development work.
2. Create a separate DB for each project team.

I want to know the pros and cons for both the approaches.

Any ideas and suggestions are most welcome.

Regards
Naveen
