Title: RE: POLL: Database to DBA ratio
With such a large # of databases to support, how do you divide up the work? Does everyone administer all of the databases, or are databases assigned to a DBA? How do you handle on-call?

350 Oracle Databases spread across US and Europe.
14 full time, 4 part time.
75% of applications are designed and built in-house.

We have over 400 databases,  90%+ are Oracle under various versions, platforms.

Today have 19 DBAs. Two weeks from now there will be 17.

Rightsizing to continue in the 2nd Quarter....

We have 7 DBAs.  105 production databases (97 24x7), ranging from 2 GB OLTP
to 800 GB data warehouses.  395 devl/alpha/beta databases ranging in size
from very small (1 GB) to production-sized.  About 1/3 of the production
databases have at least 1 (usually more) development effort going on at any
given time.

Most of our time (lives?) is spent just keeping things up and running.  The
on-call guy averages between 50 to 100 pages per week (record is in the
230-range).  Tuning and testing new stuff is fairly uncommon - as we have
time.
