we throw'm on there until we hit a predetermined capacity mark.. If it's a
100, cool.. Or if it's 20.. Just depends on the app, volume of txn's and
memory requirements....
 
 
The caveats that are considered are some of the necessary kernal parms
(semaphores, shared memory,etc).. Load it up, watch the capacity of the
server.. And push the envelope:-)

We have about 35 instances on each node of RAC they are of course DEVL/ACPT
types.

Thanks for the replies so far. Considering the fact that my database is tiny
( just around 3 GB ), How many of them can work on same server? I can just
test with 5 instances, with limited hardware. Will the CPUs be able to take
load of 100 instances? Is it worth experimenting this? 
 
I am on 8.1.7.4 and the application is already built. I stand no chance of
changing the code. That is why using individual schemas for individual users
is not an option. Right now I am just asked if 100 instances can run on same
server and I don't have solid answer. 
 
Just on side note, can I ask, What is the maximum number of instances anyone
has ever worked/heard being installed with in same server? 
 
Thanks again.
 
Dilip.

100 instances wohhhhh .  If you are in 9i look at possibilities like context
or label security . or creating another schema .
