Dennis, We are using Oracle Names. It is very easy to set up and use. It typically is run on a pair separate servers (think of a DNS Server) for redundancy. It can run off of a TNSNAMES file or another Oracle database. Personally, I would use a TNSNAMES file - one less DB to maintain. I

I never liked names, but that's just me. I thought keeping the names servers up to date, and making sure every client was configured to use the name servers, was a pain in the butt. You can have multiple names servers to eliminate a single point of failure. The method I liked the best was to

The global indexes can also be partitioned - using a different partition column or different ranges than the table partitions. The drawback with global indexes (partitioned or not) is that they become invalid when you do an exchange partition or drop partition. Personally I think local indexes are

Yes, the push method is a viable option to names. And you can just write a script that executes when user logon to the domain to check for a new copy of tnsnames.ora. Not very sophisticated yet effective. -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 3:02 PM To: Multiple recipients of

Oracle names is actually a very stable software and it works very nice. I have very good experience with that product. As for LDAP, it's huge, incompatible, hard to administer and you must have 9iAS. It doesn't work with iPlanet, weblogic or websphere.It's a proprietary LDAP if such thing

A few more points: 1) If you use ONAMES, I think it's a good idea to use a region DB (we have an Oracle DB that we use as a repository for a couple of non-related items) for a few reasons. Primarily because I thought the concept of using one was easier for me to understand from a recovery
