    OID vs OracleNames

    I got a recent email saying - 'All Oracle Names Servers will be going down in teh future. Use your OID to connect to databases'. What does this mean ?

    What changes do we have to do to our sqlnet.ora and /or tnsnames.ora on the client machines ? The client computers use either oracle 9i or 11g.

    Thanks.

    Cool OID's the way to go

    ONAMES no longer will be supported.

    You need to install OID (Oracle Identity Management).

    Job security? Presenting it to management as a "crisis"
