Thanks. One of the reasons for going with DB auth is that it should be
easier to integrate with things like LDAP. I am just getting my feet wet
here. A lot to learn still with APEX.

Well, theoretically, since all Apex apps reside in the database, Apex
applications can scale to whatever your database can scale to. It all
depends on which authentication method you choose for how well it work in
practice though. LDAP is probably more convenient for users (one less
password), can also be problematic with the cloud, especially for
Government applications. Then you'll probably need SAML 2.0, which is a
real pain to get setup. But standard database authentication can easily
scale to whatever you want, and you can also include your own password
validation functions.

I could use one of the other forms of auth and even roll my own. Easy
enough to change likely if I ever get to that point. Honestly if I ever get
to 100-1000 users I will be happy. I figure if Oracle can handle 1M it can
handle 1000 easily without concern. Since APEX offers db auth as an option
they should be looking a being able to scale to 1M if they can't already.
Global scale of any app is unpredictable.

Anyone tried to create 1000's-1,000,000 user accounts and seen if there
are any issues? I can't believe there would be but I recall a bug or
something going back in which I ran into issues with a high # of user
accounts.
Thanks,
