Yes, that is clearer. In PeopleSoft terminology, a 'PeopleSoft database' exists in a schema (usually SYSADM) in an Oracle database. Unfortunately, the two terms are often used interchangably. So it is supported to have multiple 'PeopleSoft databases' in multiple schemas in the same Oracle database - but this is not recommended. regards _________________________ David Kurtz Go-Faster Consultancy Ltd. tel: +44 (0)7771 760660 fax: +44 (0)7092 348865 mailto:david.kurtz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: www.go-faster.co.uk Book: PeopleSoft for the Oracle DBA: http://www.psftdba.com <http://www.psftdba.com/> DBA Blogs: PeopleSoft: http://blog.psftdba.com <http://blog.psftdba.com/> , Oracle: http://blog.go-faster.co.uk <http://blog.go-faster.co.uk/> PeopleSoft DBA Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psftdba _____ From: John Hallas [mailto:John.Hallas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 8:35 PM To: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Mayen.Shah@xxxxxxxxxx; hkchital@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Multiple (SYSADM) Schemas in a Peoplesoft Database * If all the databases are in the same database server then the same database parameters apply to all. You cannot control them separately. I take it you mean if all the schemas were in the same database then the database parameters apply to all The only possible exception is if you have Portal and just one product (such as HR) then you might put them together because they are so tightly bound. Now that's an idea David. regards _________________________ David Kurtz Go-Faster Consultancy Ltd. tel: +44 (0)7771 760660 fax: +44 (0)7092 348865 mailto:david.kurtz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: www.go-faster.co.uk Book: PeopleSoft for the Oracle DBA: http://www.psftdba.com <http://www.psftdba.com/> DBA Blogs: PeopleSoft: http://blog.psftdba.com <http://blog.psftdba.com/> , Oracle: http://blog.go-faster.co.uk <http://blog.go-faster.co.uk/> PeopleSoft DBA Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psftdba ______________________________________________________________________ Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc is registered in England with number 358949.
