350 Oracle Databases spread across US and Europe. 14 full time, 4 part time.
75% of applications are designed and built in-house.

We have over 400 databases, 90%+ are Oracle under various versions, platforms.

Today have 19 DBAs. Two weeks from now there will be 17.

Rightsizing to continue in the 2nd Quarter....

We have 7 DBAs. 105 production databases (97 24x7), ranging from 2 GB OLTP to 800 GB data warehouses. 395 devl/alpha/beta databases ranging in size from very small (1 GB) to production-sized. About 1/3 of the production databases have at least 1 (usually more) development effort going on at any given time.

Most of our time (lives?) is spent just keeping things up and running. The on-call guy averages between 50 to 100 pages per week (record is in the 230-range). Tuning and testing new stuff is fairly uncommon - as we have time.
