Hi Im looking for a replacement of onames (which worked perfectly on 9i) Going from 9ir2 to 10.1.0.2 namesctl does not seem to be available on 10g. I understand that OID is overkill for a tnsnames replacement. Im handling about 500 intermittent users within one company's network What are admins on 10g using as a replacement for onames? TIA bob -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
