Chuck,

That's not really a good measure. It really depends on a number of things.

number of users
number of apps
size of db's
quality of apps ( some require more work than others )
amount of new development
lots more I can't think of at the moment...

Best thing to do is document the advantages of additional staff.

If it can save the company $$, they will go for it. The savings will come in from less downtime, apps get put in production sooner, ...

        Subject:        POLL: Database to DBA ratio

I'm trying to build a case for management that we need additional DBAs so I'd like to take a quick poll if I may. What is the ratio of Oracle databases to DBAs in your shop? This includes development and production databases. At our shop it's 33:1.
