Yup. Looks like they made good on their threats...

Oracle Corporation announces the end of error correction for Oracle Names on all platforms. The desupport date of Oracle Names is dependent on the schedule of Oracle9i. Oracle9i (v8.2) will be the terminal release of Oracle Names.

10G is not ceritfied to be used with Oracle Names on previous versions.

This could get interesting. Names has been a god-send around here.

Hi all,

In the process of testing 10g rel 1, I see that neither 'namesctl' and associated Onames directories exist, nor does it resolve TNS entries unless made available via tnsnames.ora..... If so, then Oracle has _finally_ implemented its threat to retire Oracle Names (but not resolution via tnsnames.ora!)

This is on a downloaded 10G release on Solaris though, so I am wondering if anyone can test this out in a full release. [I am in the process of ordering the media].

Thanks,
