Hi all, In the process of testing 10g rel 1, I see that neither 'namesctl' and associated Onames directories exist, nor does it resolve TNS entries unless made available via tnsnames.ora..... If so, then Oracle has _finally_ implemented its threat to retire Oracle Names (but not resolution via tnsnames.ora!) This is on a downloaded 10G release on Solaris though, so I am wondering if anyone can test this out in a full release. [I am in the process of ordering the media].
