I have seen many articles on maintaining multiple tnsnames.ora files so that individual groups can use each file which only points to the databases they need to see. This seems like a great idea. Why give a global file I wanted to see if others out there are doing this and does it work? Some say it is not easy to manage but I say "would you rather risk someone breaking into the database because you made a global file available that tells everyone how to find all of your databases?" Does anyone NOT recommend this? Any ideas welcome!
