Creating different mount points for production databases
We are in the process of setting up production databases. There are three databases, db1, db2 and db3, for three different applications. We are supposed to create three different mount points, like /db1, /db2 and /db3, and install the Oracle software in separate homes which are managed by three different users. Is it the best approach?

When I have multiple instances on the same server, I create the mount points similar to the following:
/db1
/db2
Then in each mount point, I create a subdirectory simply named by the ORACLE_SID. So if I have two instances named TEST and ORCL, I would have the following:
/db1/ORCL
/db1/TEST
/db2/ORCL
/db2/TEST
It should be obvious which directory contains files for which instance.
