Now I come to think about it in more depth, another reason is that even our small databases aren't all that small. For us 10g would be a small database. When you work for an organisation that has 50,000 employees, 4 million customers (over half of whom live within an 8 mile radius and use multiple services) and turnover the equivalent of about $10bn a year (about half of which is your own money and the other half belongs to other agencies but you influence how it's spent) then your idea of small is a bit bigger than if you worked for a company that employs 70 people and turns over a few million a year (my first Oracle job).

Sure there are bigger corporations, but they tend not to be so geographically concentrated whilst offering such a wide range of services.

Same here, I think we have somethibg like 8 or 10 SAP databases (including UAT &c).

It's better to ask a silly question than to make a silly assumption.
