The biggest problem you will have is maintainence concerns. What happens when half of the apps need to upgrade to the next version of the database, and the other half can't yet?

What about the 34 schemas under one instance? Is that the best method to manage these databases? It will eventually be one database but much work has to be done in the application first.

Thanks for the quick response!

Four disks is not bad as long you end up with four spindles dedicated to your database. If not , then raid-5 will be better choice than raid 0+1 since you will end up having three spindles rather than two. You got plenty of memory to allocate to the SGA to avoid going to the disks.

I am working on a new project to take 34 Informix (approx. 5G each;1 is 13G)

that currently run on 5 UNIX Pyramids and convert to 1 Oracle database (8.1.6) on a SUN E10K.

Does anyone know of any issues to watch out for or any potential problem of having 1 database instance on Oracle and 34 schemas to reflect the current system. Does anyone know of a better solution? References to MetaLink/TechNet, etc welcomed.

The SUN E10K will have 8G of memory, 8 CPUs but only 4 18G disks (I know its

a nightmare with only 4 disks. Obviously a ridiculous decision made before I

joined the team...)

Thanks in advance!
