Bruce,
You can load Oracle Names from a tnsnames.ora file, the repository is
not required. Setting it up this way is fairly easy.

Subject: RE: Names server
Stephen or others,
If I understood correctly, the email below said it is possible to have a
Names Server that doesn't require its own database.
I have just briefly read the manual on Names and it mentions that Names8
doesn't require a database to store topology but it is recommended.
It also mentions service replication where information is stored in Names
cache rather than a database.
Is this what is being referred to?
Stephen - can you provide a bit more information on a Names server that
doesn't require a separate database.
Thanks,
Bruce Reardon

I agree with everyone. Oracle Names saved many days/months of maintenance
time in migrating new TNSNAMES to over 30000 desktops. The only gotchas
with ON was the creation of a separate Administrative database and 24x7
maintenance of it. With the new extensibility features not requiring a
database, that job was made much easier.
However, the move to LDAP will benefit you even more because all you need
to
do is put an entry in the directory server for the instances and "magic"
occurs. I personally hate the concept of the TNSNAMES file because if
violates the "knowledge" security standard of knowing what databases are
within the environment. Any savvy user can figure out how to hack in once
they have that kind of information.
Thank You

I agree with you Jared. On the last job we had TNSNAMES files out to
everyones work station ..... got to be a pain. Installed Names, created
the right files ..... bingo, all worked . Very easy.

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

Names server is depreciated in 9i, but still there.
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.

Names server will be obsolete in 9i, I think.
