As in all things Oracle the answer is "it depends". Are we talking
production, development, testing, training, stand-by, disaster recovery, or
what? Is the database 24x7x365 or is it required only during normal
business hours and if it goes down can the business wait until the DBA gets
in? Is the DBA expected to double as the SA? Is it on UNIX, Windows,
Linux, or whatever? How automated is the backup and recovery? Is it OLTP
or decision support? Will you be using a COTS product or a home grown
application for data entry and retrieval?
I know that that's not too much help but you need to answer some of those
question before you can start on "how many DBAs do I need?"
