"We think [multi-tenancy] is a really bad idea, unless you want to look at your competitors' leads. It's a very bad security model," according to Ellison.
Not everyone agrees, however. Benioff of Salesforce - which uses a multi-tenancy model - said: "Multi-tenancy is the foundation of the industry. You see it in the technology we use every day - in Twitter, in Google, in Larry's company Netsuite [Ellison has an investment in Netsuite] and our company."
"When you open a bank account, do they open a new server for you?" he said. "No, they use a shared database."
Good for Oracle as they do not need to pay licenses for using their own database engine!!!
