I would say yes, but I guess it isn't required. From an administration point of view, I would want to know what port ranges are for what database. So if I am having a problem with people connecting to just one of the databases I could narrow the search. There is also a possibly small performance hit. If you are starting several databases on the same large minport and maxport range, each servers started would start at the minport and work up until it finds a free port to attach to. Lastly there is a security concern. If I am running in a cloud I would want all ports open in the firewall to have a process connected to that port. So have a large list of open ports which don't have a process connected is problematic. Having smaller ranges and having the servers automatically start when the database starts would make it safer. Does that help? Roy
