Completely removing names from Oracle would be a mistake IMO. Reason: Name is fairly easy to implement, LDAP is anything but.

They were going to remove it, but I think there was a bit of a backlash, so they have delayed the removal. OID (LDAP) is the replacement. We use names server here, have found it to be pretty stable and reduced tnsnames.ora administration nicely. RF Robert G.
