tnsnames.ora - many names for the same thing
Greetings All;
Is it possible to add "aliases" into tnsnames.ora such that multiple names can share the same definition?
We use a combination of application code and wallets to access a number of databases (no; we never do anything the Easy Way).
As a result, we have several Wallets pointing to the same instance, but connecting under different sets of credentials for different, fairly high-powered tasks.
What I'm looking for is a way to "alias" an existing Descripton, just under a different name, as in
