Do databases get too old or too cluttered

edited Jul 13, 2009 9:48AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered
I have a purely development environment with approximately 400 developers writing code, test, etc.  Each developer has one or more instances of our software, each with its a minimum of 5 schemas per instance.  Add to that about 100 automated test instances also with their own schemas.   Schemas are created, used, then discarded everytime a new instance is created.  This happens multiple times a day.  Each schema contains approximately 2000 objects of all kinds including OLAP objects.  Space per schema can range from 500 MB to 5GB.

Now for the questions...

One database or multiples?   Do databases age (slow down) as a result of the churn?  Are there any good rules of thumb out there?  Any studies, white papers, etc?

Howdy, Stranger!
