Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Re[4]: What Sort of Privilege?
Peter,
You said it best. Nobody is right or wrong here.
If you are running an ERP, then the decision is made for you.
If you are running a home-grown system, and you prefer one schema, then you
are correct.
If you are running a home-grown system, and you prefer multi-schemas, then
you are correct.
It all really comes down to personal preference. I actually got a chuckle yesterday when I was told that I was WRONG! Lol!
Have a great day.

Subject: Re[4]: What Sort of Privilege?
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!).
