A naming method that enables users to
connect to an Oracle database server by using a host name alias in a
TCP/IP environment. Host names are mapped to the server's global
database name in an existing names resolution service, such as Domain
Name System (DNS), Network Information Service (NIS) or a centrally-maintained
set of /etc/hosts files.
