RE: Why default domain?

Wow! Your ONS is frequently down? What version and what server? I've been running ONS on an 8.0.5.0.1 DB on OpenVMS for 419 days with the only interruption being a planned IP Class-B-to-Class-C upgrade on the network
(Note: The SERVER didn't need rebooting -- just the networking!). Our
backup ONS is on my Windohs Tuke workstation and is up and down, depending on the wind direction apparently. All clients use ONS only. Our main DB server has local naming as an "Oh Shitzu" backup so that DBMS_JOBs and such on that server don't need external naming resolution, should they require a link to another server.

BTW, we also don't currently use default domains, but I'll probably change that at some point, seeing as Oracle tools like OEM practically shove it down your throat <sigh>.

In short, I don't. I use local resolution (as our ONS is frequently down and unreliable) and none of my aliases have domain names attached to them. In my sqlnet.ora, the entries about default domain, etc. are all commented out.
