We are starting a project that will eventually have 500 laptops wandering
around in the wild. These will have an Access database for untethered use,
and will periodically connect to Oracle via Net8 to resynchronize itself.
The idea of changing 500 tnsnames.ora files sometime down the line is
daunting. I've been studying for the OCP Net8 exam, and they mention Oracle
Names.
- Are any of you using the Oracle Names?
- Is it as easy to configure as Oracle makes it sound, or is it difficult?
- Is Names reasonably robust? I can see this as yet another single point of
failure.
- Oracle hinted that Oracle Names is going away in favor of LDAP. Is this
imminent, or just a scare tactic? I had held off using Names because of
this, but the company has made a commitment to MS Active Directory, which I
gather from the list postings isn't very compatible with Oracle's LDAP.
