I am a consultant now but I would never pull such a scam on my clients. This is a trick from the good old times, when IBM was a monopoly. That is no longer the case, for almost 3 decades now. Today, tricks like that do not work.

I don't have numbers, as could be expected. I have participated in a few consolidation projects and they have all ended up with a single database to rule them all, single database to find them, single database to bring them all and with PL/SQL bind them, in the land of Redwood Shores where the new releases are born.

The idea of a DB consolidation project has always been to prevent wasting of resources, pool together what can be pooled and make processes smoother. Oracle instance imposes a significant overhead on the underlying machine and increasing that overhead is not the right way, at least in my humble opinion.

I never, ever restart instance unless it's completely unresponsive to all users. CTRL-ALT-DEL mentality is inappropriate for a modern RDBMS. Not even with development databases. DBA should impose a technological discipline upon his developers and encourage them to be mindful of performance and resource consumption, not to give them an example how to waste resources. In other words, you're supposed to be a technological R. Lee Ermey, not Bluto from the Animal House.

As I have said several times on this group, I started with Oracle 4, on MS DOS 3.3 and PC XT with 512KB RAM. That was my first contact with Oracle in the late 80's. There are people who have started earlier than me, but not many.

I am deeply ashamed. I confess writing two books, the 2nd one with coconspirators,  sometimes known as "co-authors". Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I never believe anyone except Richard Dawkins. There is but one God and Richard Dawkins is his prophet. Everybody else must prove his or her words beyond reasonable doubt, using facts and logical principles.
