I agree with you. This makes no sense to me. 35 tables split into 8 schemas gives you about 4-5 tables per schema?
Did you ask him/her for the methodology as to why he/she feels this is important? Oracle applications uses multiple schema's for it's components, but then, you are talking thousands of tables. Don't take a consultants "recommendations" laying down (and I'm a consultant!). Demand a reason behind their approach, and then, if it does not make sense, reject the proposal. Remember, he/she works for you, and customer has to agree! Hope this helps. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, Our consultant has presented a schema design which I have never seen (not that I have seen all the designs in the world) but I also failed to see the advantage. Basically our application consists of 35 tables and all is under one schema named after the application. Granted, the application has many components such as billing tables, event tables etc. Now the consultant wants to split all 35 tables into as many as 8 different schemas! Such as a billing schema, a event schema. To me this only complicates the whole thing as now you have to manage 8 schemas and manage many grants, synonyms. Not to mention some tables are not clear cut as which component it belongs to. I just don't see what this buys us. Has anyone seen such a approach? And what's the benefit of doing so?
