Hi,
Even if I'm using Oracle since some year, I have some (many?) doubts about the use of differents schema instead of different DBs. Generally to manage a test environment, a development enviroment and a production environment, I create 3 different databases on the same oracle instance (MYDB_TEST, MYDB_PROD, MYDB_DEV). But I was thinking if to create only 1 database and 3 different schemas for test, developing and production on the same database, could be a better solution.

Does anybody can suggests me which is the best solution and which are the advantages (and disadvantages) of the two choices?

Thank you in advance
