Last place I was at was 35:1 but we had top notch guys and and organized environment..The kinds of databases you have.. what kinds of work being done on them etc. the high availability and service level agreement and change control requirments. Now we have mega-sensitive instances.. needing Now we have 3:1 Many of them have 3-way upgrades each year and we only have 8 months to do it in..
Saying all that is to say...its not apples to apples.. What we do- is, we map all the ongoing projects and resource out the dba's and when new projects come...we have a tool to communicate the resource requirements to management... something they understand when you say " You want that project.. we need more resources... or what other project do you want to cancel. If you don't use a tool like this its easy to have managment pushing you into making all kinds of bad decisions and become heavily understaffed.
