I have this design question for experts out there .. currently we have a single hosting database where we hosts many domains(8-10) within single database.Each of there domains allows the users to register themselves in to the site , so these users are inserted into a single table say "users" which has a field to identify which domain the user belongs to and there are other bunch of tables to support other functionalitis. Now this "users" table is growing at a fast rate along with other supporting tables.For performance/scalabilty and security reasons I am debating the idea of creating different schema for each domain so that each one of them have their owb "users" and other set of tables and one global schema for common tables and sequences. Which gives advantages like better performance ( if one domain have only 10000 users it will not suffer just because others have 10000000) . Since oracle 8i provides invokers right we can still have one piece of code. Is it a good idea , considering no. of domains may go to 100s which will lead to 100 schemas .Are there any other issues(particulerly admin) which I am overlooking at ?
