Re: Oracle Names

Read: http://www.dbazine.com/liu1.html

I don't recommend using 'use_plug_and_play_listener = on' and auto registration. It is not only buggy, but also not secure.

By set up everything automatically, you lost your control. Any client can shutdown your names and delete the entries in the names by using netasst.

Names is not installed by default, (so you can't find those scripts.) You need to select it by using custom install.
