IIRC, the announcement was that Oracle Names was obsolescent in 9i,
which means it will be desupported completely in a later release.

                      ORACLE-L

 
My understanding was that ONAMES was removed from 9i and that they
provided some sort of wrapper that goes around OID to make it look like
a names server until you can covert all your clients. Can anyone
confirm? I am not running 9i on any of my servers yet.

keep each ones tnsnames.ora file in sync.  It seems that most people do
not touch them.  Some try to modify them and when new databases are
created, the tnsnames.ora files must be changes as well.  It seems to be
that a shared
tnsnames.ora file on a network drive may work.   I remember a thread
awhile
back about the order of resolution (home directory, then
OH/network/admin
.....).   Again, I am asking about people using the Oracle client to
connect
to 15+ databases (v7.3.4 - 9.0.x) on 10+ different servers.   I have
just
started to think about this and posted here before I started my MetaLink
search.
