Actually Gareth, I don't really consider it correct even then, it's true that the DataGuard portion doesn't come with a separate price tag, but the second server will also have to be licensed at EE price rates (including the per-core pricing that no longer applies to SE). That can be pretty expensive.

As for the OP, have you considered consolidating your different databases (all on the same server by the sounds of it) into far fewer databases (and far more schemas)?
