Oh, that would probably be out of security considerations: can't have more than one active user in one instance (makes you wonder how the hell they're allowed to have more then one applications on the same server) ;-)

OTOH it's probably too much for an application not to use the same user all over the place, so that would explain the situation as well.

Or worse: It's an application ported from MS SQL or something like this and since you need a different database for each application there, it's reasonable that you need that with Oracle, too?

What? Different Schemas in one server? Must be kiddin!

;-)
