Did you mean one database with-in a postgresql cluster ? Yes. Say something like this within a PG cluster db4978 db6234 ... 100s of such databases. That would make things worst if you are going for one database per tenant. As said by John just now, it would end up in an very complex and bad design contributing to very poor performance and high maintenance overhead. A schema per tenant would be a good idea and its hard to say without knowing the data isolation levels you require for each tenant. ======== We require complete data isolation. Absolutely nothing should be shared between two tenants. WHy would multiple dbs be any worse than multiple schemas in performance? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
