Naveen Advantages of single instance - Easier to administer. I have multiple test instances and often have to go around getting permission to bounce instances to re-jigger the memory when one project needs more memory for some test. - Easier to share data among projects.
Advantages of multiple instances - Can bring instances up/down independently - Can tune instance independently - If a project requires a different Oracle version because of another constraint, like a front-end tool, different projects can have different Oracle versions.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 7:19 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, For multiple projects we are planning to have a centralized server(as opposed to multiple servers, to improve managability) which all the development teams will use for their backend work. Now there are 2 ways in which to provide them access. 1. Have only 1 database for each version of Oracle Server installed and create schemas for individual teams for their development work. 2. Create a separate DB for each project team. I want to know the pros and cons for both the approaches. Any ideas and suggestions are most welcome.
