Having started this hare running I better qualify those original comments.

In principle, based on our experience of an un-disciplined user community, the one-schema approach has worked very well. We adopted this with version 5, so the subsequent enhancements in later versions of Oracle leaves me in little mood to re-engineer our architecture. (note - why is it, time after time after time, Oracle provides a solution to a problem we solved long ago? :-) )

Of course there is no reason why a multi-schema approach cannot work fine, but it requires a degree of advance planning and understanding to cover all those additional complexities which are simply absent from the one schema approach. So yes, Jackie - I think you guys have been careful!

So nobody is WRONG or RIGHT here, it is a question of understanding your environment, and choosing the most appropriate solution. Having said that, I am still more sympathetic to the position originally outlined, and endorsed so emphatically by Tom (thanks, Tom!).
