Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain 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. -- Jon Walthour, OCDBA Oracle DBA Computer Horizons Cincinnati, Ohio ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 8:35 PM > The O'Reilly Net8 book states: > > "It's possible to run a Net8 network without using domains at all." > > If this is true, why create net service names that are qualified by a domain > name, why define a default domain in sqlnet.ora, etc.?
