Hi Sundar,OID-in a nutshell-is a LDAP compliant directory server which uses the RDBMS as a persistence layer as far as I know.
I don't think that OID can be considered "lightweight" :) Regards, -- Martin Bach OCM 10g http://martincarstenbach.wordpress.com sundar mahadevan wrote:
From Alan's reply, Am I correct in understanding that OID requires an oracle database for names resolution. But with respect to tnsManager, I do not think it requires a database.
