Re: Help: What need to be installed for a names server

Unfortunately, the only way to install Names Server for 8.1.7 is to install the RDBMS as well. I'm not sure why Oracle changed this. Previous versions let you install just the Names Server without the RDBMS. So you must install it. After you are done, you can try one of 2 things. You can either try uninstalling the RDBMS and leave just Names or you can just run Names without starting any databases on that server. This last one will just waste disk space.

HTH,
