Oracle Names is supported. Ensure you have your SQLNET.ORA file set to use names
if the entry is not found in the tnsnames.ora file.
ie NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ONAMES, TNSNAMES)
If you can connect to sqlplus via names, you should be able to connect via dbi.

Subject: Connect to Oracle using Oracle Names
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to an Oracle database using Oracle Names but cannot
get it to work. If I add the database to tnsnames.ora it works fine.
Is Oracle Names not supported and if not will it ever be supported?
