Jared,

    Onames 8.1 did not mess up global names, but it did mess up global database links. In the earlier versions you could specify what service name you wanted to use as a global database link to a server and what account it would loggin to. In 8.1 they made a real mess of that capability so now you've got to define database links in the database once again. Of course if you did not make use of database links before, your probably not affected.

Bill,

    With Onames you don't need the TNSnames.ora file anymore. It does resolution of database service names automatically no matter if it's a database
or client doing the lookup. Now previous versions of ONames did a very nice job
of allowing you to create global database links, but version 8.1 messed that up
REAL bad.

Has anyone had success gettin db links to resolve service names using Oracle
Names? seem to recall reading something that required the local TNS entry for db links to successfully resolve, but also read that Names automatically
creates a global db link for every service name registered with it.
