Quoting from your further contributions in this thread

'I didnt know about TNSPING, but it worked a treat - all aliases resolve to
the right locations.'

So obviously my assumptions weren't assumptions. I was correct, and you just weren't speaking the truth, trying to coerce people to do your work for free.

As for being pompous, I doubt whether I am pompous, but I'm not so sure about you.
Your insults were just plain unjustified, and my assumptions were correct.
You didn't look up the error in any Oracle manual, or you would have known about tnsping.
