Howard, explain yourself. When you have 250+ Oracle databases, 128
terabytes of data in those databases...and several HP Superdomes....with
ridiculous amounts of RAM and CPU....why would you think 65 dev and test
databases on a Superdome is "criminal insanity" ? Frankly, it's not remotely
insane. As far as I'm concerned it's an easy job. I can understand how the
scale of the setup might scare ya'...but it's really no big deal.
Production lives in it's own world completely separate from dev and
test...and is locked down tighter than a drum.
