Most of the large companies I've consulted with just keep the DB to a certain size (20GB sounds good) and don't worry about who's on what DBs it's too much a pain in the butt to be shuffling people around. Although I have seen them try to keep important people on different servers / DBs to keep them all from being down at the same time...

Currently we have 3 DBs. 1 with a mix of companies that is very large (65GB). The others are 4 to 5GB a piece and are one Exec DB and one company DB. I started to go the departmental route to separate DBs, but then that idea was soon realized to created trouble since we have people who shuffle around a lot here. What are larger orgs like some of you doing with your config? I was thinking company Dbs with a 20GB limit. After the 20GB was reached I would then create a second instance of the same company DB2 and so on for all of our companies. Just looking for some input an recommendations of what is the best practice. Thanks. Michael Woodruff System Administrator inChord Communications Inc.
