does anybody know how MaxDB performes when one creates lots (> 100) of rather small (< 200 MB each) databases on a single server?


I think you will sooner or later reach operating system imposed limits
(depending on the OS you're using) because each DB will (also depending on
the configuration) create 20 - 50 threads for each, additionally you will
need x_servers/vservers for the connections, so the scheduler will need to
deal with 2000 - 5000 threads and some hundred processes.


Hm, seems to be a bad idea.


Why do you want to create so many small instances? Just curious...


We are running a shop engine (build in perl) that uses MaxDB as its database. At one of our customers the system uses a single database-instance for about 120 shops utilizing a model like SAP does (client-dependent and client-independent tables).

Now we migrate the system to java (using spring and hibernate) and are focused with the problem that compound primary keys which are a consequence of using a client-field in nearly every table are not realy a good idea in such an environment. Hence the idea to split the clients to different database instances...

Cheers,

Dirk
