A simple num of databases to DBA ratio is quite meaningless. You need to take into consideration of at least the following: o Size of the database, transaction volume. What kind of up time your database needs to provide. o Complexity of the database and application which run on top of it. Number of objects, tables, stored procedures. Is there replication, partitioning, object types, RAC/OPS, etc involved? o Does the DBA also do some SA work, or development work or design etc. o How frequent is your development cycle.
I am sure others will have lots of things to attribute. But you can't just say I have NNN number of databases and therefore need NN number of DBAs.

What is the ratio of Oracle databases to DBAs in your shop? This includes development and production databases. At our shop it's 33:1. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Chuck Hamilton INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
