What do you mean, holding Oracle database information ? Storing TNS aliases? They would still need to be mapped to port/host/sid. Or for authentification ? I have been working on this very recently, but it still need to be polished a little. Basically, the idea is to map pseudo-views over information collected from a (Netscape) LDAP server. Applications can then access information from the LDAP server through SQL. I am not madly happy with my current implementation (which uses a flat file, regularly refreshed, as cache. Uh.) but it's promising. e-mail me privately if you want some details.
