There are absolutely no issues in Oracle Names. We have been using it for several years (ever since the 1st version, which was a bit 'challenging'). I would suggest you look into installing the OID/LDAP facility for Service Name Resolution. Oracle has been saying that Oracle Names will not be supported after 9i. Damagement may not like to hear that, and will not appreciate all your hard work in getting Oracle Names working. I don't think Oracle charges for OID/LDAP if used solely for Service Name resolution. So there is no cost involved in that approach either. If you get the OID/LDAP working, Dgmt reward (cross-fingers) you for being pro-active :)

Hi All,

I'm testing and planning implemetation of oracle names and would like some advice/pointers/gotcha's to put into my plan for damagement.

Main reason:

Ease of maintenance (We now have tnsnames file all over the place)

Planned setup:

Two names servers both in physically seperated locations (more if needed for performance reasons).
One database to store all data (no need to synchronise anymore) on one of our systems with failover (EMC storage). Failover has been tested and works OK Down time is very short.

Questions:

Is this setup a situation that can live up to real world action?? Anybody having similar setup?
Any gotcha's I should be aware of (I have this running on a laptop and a desktop and it looks fine but....)
What are the security issues I should be aware of (everybody can connect to every database with just the name of the databasse) Does anybody have a PRO/CON list already

TIA Jack
