John - Here is a white paper on Oracle's site. I keep seeing where Oracle is
encouraging people to switch to LDAP and that Names will eventually go away,
and that has discouraged me from going the Names route. Maybe that will
never occur and 10 years from now Names will be going strong. Of course,
when I talk to our network people they say that we are going LDAP but they
are still trying to chose which one :-)

In the past the answer was to set up Oracle Names. I think Oracle said
they will be phasing that out in favor of LDAP systems. I believe if you are
starting today the best idea would be to consider Oracle Internet Directory,
or more generically an LDAP system of some type.

I am looking for info on how you support a large number of PCs (200+) and
keep each ones tnsnames.ora file in sync. It seems that most people do not
touch them. Some try to modify them and when new databases are created, the
tnsnames.ora files must be changes as well. It seems to be that a shared
tnsnames.ora file on a network drive may work. I remember a thread awhile
back about the order of resolution (home directory, then OH/network/admin
....). Again, I am asking about people using the Oracle client to connect
to 15+ databases (v7.3.4 - 9.0.x) on 10+ different servers. I have just
started to think about this and posted here before I started my MetaLink
search.
TIA for any info.
