Likewise, I'm just talking horses for courses. Our DB infrastructure is used across:
1) Our entire web apps environment, which hosts hundreds of CF sites 2) Our Student (hundreds of thousands of people), Staff (thousands of people) and Finance (billions of dollars of transactions) systems. 3) Various other systems as necessary (e.g. GIS research, employing Oracle's spatial tools) As for my web apps; for example, I use Oracle for all of our full-text indexing (instead of Verity), because I can mix fully featured queries (e.g. for security roles) with complex search results (like search context highlighted return text) all in the one query. It also means that the search collection is in the same place as the data, so we can have two CF servers in front of the DB without worrying about how to keep a collection in sync.
