Below is the end of my own tnsnames.ora located on my PC. There is a common
network tnsnames.ora on a network share located on my 'R' drive. The
network version has all the permanent databases defined in it. I can add
any temporary or new test servers to my copy of tnsnames.ora and still get
to all the permanent entries when ever I need to. Works great!

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
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.
