One way is to use Oracle names servers. For some reason, I have never liked this. No particular reason. Another way is to use push software, like Tivoli, to push a tnsnames.ora out to client PC's. If you have fewer PC's to fiddle with -- for example, a department -- and if you have NT admins with enough knowledge to set it up, you can e-mail a link to the users for them to click on to update their tnsnames.ora I've seen all of these methods used. The one I thought worked the best was the push method. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephen Lee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
