Shared Schemas

To receive the real benefit of the enterprise user solution, you can use shared schemas for your enterprise users. For this strategy, complete the following tasks:

  • Create enterprise users in the directory

  • Create a single shared schema in each database

  • Create a single shared schema mapping in Oracle Internet Directory

Mapping enterprise users to a generic, shared schema on each of the databases that they access greatly reduces the overhead of creating separate schemas for each enterprise user.

Shared schema enterprise users can be mapped to generic, shared schemas on all of the databases that they access, or they can have exclusive schemas on some databases and shared schemas on others. The shared schema mappings are stored in the directory.
