Use of hyphen (-) in hostname/machine name
Hi there.
One of our architects is proposing a new server naming policy that would allow the use of hyphens (-) in the hostname or machine name of new servers.
I've pointed out to him that this might not be a very good idea as I've heard of a few problems with Oracle that can be caused by using hyphens in the hostname.
Do any of you know if underscores (_) are allowed instead? Is Oracle happy with underscores in the hostname?
Thanks in anticipation !
