Getting ServiceNames...

Greetings to ODAC guru community! :)
I am new to ODAC and I need help in following two questions:

1. How to get TNS Service Names registered on my computer at the run-time? Which way is correct and most effective?

2. Is it safe to supply DBA's password through TCP/IP using OraSession.Net option?

thank you very much! :)

ODAC has no such functionality. However, you can use TConnectDialog.GetServerList(List: TStrings); in visual applications. See ODAC help for more details.

2. Yes, it is safe. ODAC uses the same encryption methods like Oracle client for passing password to Oracle server.
