RE: combine or not combine into one database?

Tao - If I understand your situation, you currently have 3 separate databases, 2 separate Lawson databases and another OEM database?

        You can combine your two Lawson databases, but you'll need to develop a careful project plan. Right now your Lawson HR database probably sends data to your Lawson GL system, so that needs looked at before you do the combination. There is a Lawson email list that can answer that question in more detail.

        Is the OEM repository and historical database more of a data warehouse or OLTP system? Data warehouses tend to have spikey usage and don't play well with OLTP databases such as your Lawson system. I would tend to keep it separate just based on the limited information you've provided.

Hi all,

I would like to know any advantage and disadvantage to combine the following databases into one:

Finance in Lawson
HR in Lawson
OEM repository and historical database

Any comments are very appreciated.
