Also, in Oracle8, there is the native naming adapter, which means, if you have only 1 database running on a system and the listener listening on the default port 1521, you can just type sqlplus xxx/yyy_at_hostname no need for any configuration at all on the client side anymore. But this is a new feature in net8... net8 is working well towards low to pretty much no-configuration if you stick to the defaults.
