Dennis, on the plus side, there is only one way OID can go: for the better.
It can't get any worse.

You summed it up very well. To this point I've just used a tnsnames file
on a few servers and PCs. I have a project that is just starting that will
involve many remote laptops. We have some people here getting M$ Active
Directory going, so they were very confident they could get the Oracle
client software to read the database locations from the Active Directory's
LDAP interface. I figured that someone on this list had already done that.
Now we're thinking that either it can't be done or we're waiting for
somebody smarter to figure it out.

Onames is deprecated because it works reliably and without much ado. With
LDAP,
On the other hand, life gets interesting. Oracle LDAP is truly portable
among
All other OID instances. Forget about WebSphere, WebLogic or iPlanet, it
works with OID only. I'll be darned if I install the whole huge monster like
OID just to be able to locate instances. I'll rather use NFS mapped
tnsnames.ora instead.

Yes, ONAMES is deprecated. Yes, LDAP is the replacement in the form of
Oracle Internet Directory ("OiD").
