Naming Methods Configuration

Clients use a simple name, called a connect identifier, in their connect strings. A connect identifier can be the net service name or the actual name of the service. For example, sales is the connect identifier in the following connect string:

CONNECT scott/tiger@sales

During a connection request, the client contacts a naming method to resolve sales to a connect descriptor, which the contains destination service information and the path, or network route, across the network to get to that service. The destination service is indicated by using its service name. The network route provides, at a minimum, the location of the listener through use of a network address.

The client must be configured with the naming methods to use in order to look up connect identifiers. The preferred order of naming methods to use are stored in the sqlnet.ora file.
