Re: two databases in a server

I've heard the argument before about having more than one instance on a machine is a bad idea.

However, on the flip side, having 50 applications share one instance can be bad, as if one app needs a particular patch, you're affecting 49 other applications due to one application's requirements.

Anyone care to elaborate why more than one instance is bad?
