Rao,
I'm going to differ from a previous return post. I think that you should
use different schema's with separate tablespaces. Why? Because your all on one
machine therefore all of your background Oracle processes are competing for the
same CPU, memory, and IO resources which can and does slow matters down
significantly. The best bet in my experience is one large DB instance with a
very large SGA, particularly in the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS area. We've tried both
approaches with our PeopleSoft development environments and this works much
better than multiple instances. Way too much background CPU & Memory burn not
to mention all of the wasted disk space for multiple system, temp, rbs, and
other tablespaces. It really dings the IO too. BTW: with each schema in it's
own tablespace(s) you can still take one offline without crashing the others,
unless you need to take system or rbs offline.

List,
I would like to have your opinion on the following scenario.
We are having an application which is used by different customers (around 15
customers). On an average each customer will have around 1,000 transactions
per 5 minutes. Now, is it better to have a separate database for each
customer on the same machine or to create all the customers as different
schema in one single database?
What are the pros and cons. I am specifically looking at performance and
security issues.
Environment:
This application is a 24x7 environment, OLTP application. Sun 6500 Solaris 7
with 4 CPUS. Raid 10. Memory 4 GB (memory can be increased if required).
Oracle 816.
Thanks,
Rao
