RE: ORACLE NAMES /LDAP
Vikas, I just implemented Oracle Names (8.1.6) for Verizon Wireless...corporate-wide. I've setup three ONAMES servers: 1. At Corporate Headquarters in NJ. This server contains the region database for ONAMES. It also serves as the Secondary ONAMES server corporate-wide. 2. In data center in NY. This server provides Primary ONAMES services to the corporate regions in both the North East and South areas. 3. In data center in CA. This server provides Primary ONAMES services to the corporate regions in both the West and Midwest areas. This infrastructure supports 26,000 users accessing 250+ databases corporate-wide. Oracle Names is making its' terminal release in 9i. Oracle is recommending that companies migrate to their LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory) solution. This solution is not cheap...so we have decided to wait probably another year or so before going this route. OiD is also a bit more complicated to setup and administer.

Hi Ed, Why do you say that OiD is not cheap? I haven't seen any associated costs, other than servers to put it on. Can you explain? The complicated part, though I definitely agree with! :) Thx!

OiD is a separately licensable product...not included as part of the DB license. If I remember correctly, you have the UPU license calculation or a per entry license @ $50/, with 5000 entries being the minimum!!

RE: ORACLE NAMES /LDAP
Hi, Actually, it's not so bad. OiD is licensed separately ONLY when used as general purpose directory service. Check Metalink Note:135696.1 13. Do I need to license OID when deploying the directory for NET8 ? Answer -- No, deploying OID for NET8 is free of charge.

RE: ORACLE NAMES /LDAP
Interesting...Oracle must have changed their minds on this issue. I know we complained that it seemed crazy for us to pay for OiD when ONAMES is free...considering Oracle is de-supporting ONAMES and practically forcing customers to go with OiD (LDAP). I guess they actually used some of the feedback we and others provided to straighten out the inconsistency!!

Re: ORACLE NAMES /LDAP
The most simple analogy is would you prefer to manually maintain a host file on each client or use a single facility such as a DNS server ot provide the mapping between hostname IP_number? At some point switching from using TNSNAMES.ORA files on all Oracle servers client to a single/centralized name server, such as Oracle Name or LDAP, make sense. It is not directly a question of need, but an issue of the level of effort for ongoing maintenance.
