Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: The use of schemas
Hum, did he used to work with financials? Its kind of hard to tell without
knowing more about how the database is used but I cannot think of an
advantage
off the top of my head. What reasons did he give?

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?
Thanks
