Hello Bjørn
My opinion is that you should avoid editing tnsnames.ora manually.
It is safer to use Oracle Net tools to enter the services.
At least in some versions Oracle can mess it up if you first edit
it manually and then use Oracles tools to change it.

In "init_A.ora " file,
----------------------------
ifile='/aa/../init_B.ora'
blabla...settin g...
----------------------------

then "init_A.ora " file will be union of
"init_A.ora " and "init_B.ora ".

good answer to wrong question -- that's for the parameter file, not the
tnsnames.ora file

Hi!
This would be easy, if the files are small.
But the files are big - some hundred db's
and I know that file A is better than file B (both files can describe the
same instances, but sometime there may be differences!)

Also important:
The tns-name should only be listet a single time in the resulting file, in
other
case, it could be that the wrong would be edited in future.

For each tnsnames.ora
Do
vi $file
Join the lines so that one SID per line
Done
Cat all tnsnames.ora | sort | uniq > a_big_tnsnames. ora_sorted

Hope this help.
