Nope, not that kind.
But I see more and more databases, and they look like this:
SQL> select cname from registry$;
CNAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database Catalog Views
Oracle Database Packages and Types
Oracle XML Database
Oracle Real Application Clusters
Oracle Workspace Manager
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine
Oracle XDK
Oracle Database Java Packages
Oracle Text
Oracle Multimedia
OLAP Analytic Workspace
Oracle OLAP API
Spatial
Oracle Label Security
Oracle Database Vault
This appears to be what "Oracle recommends" - it's what they create by
default in their cloud as well.
That looks like the ultimate nightmare to upgrade to me.
Creating a database like this, you'll be carrying thousands and thousands
of objects around going anywhere. And they're objects you don't use or
need.
More objects to be affected by security bugs, more objects to weight down
your everything you do.
I've always been of the opinion that you should create your databases as
lean as possible - both to reduce bugs (particularly when upgrading) and to
just maintain a small footprint.
Am I turning into the dinosaur here or are we still supposedly fighting an
uphill battle against this?
