Im creating a user defined function in sqlserver. The code is down

create  function ProcessAck()

I will be upgrading an 8i database to 10gR2 soon. They currently run a
standby server and I'm thinking we'd use Data Guard now to make it easier

I have Oracle 9i R2.  I wish to use the nameserver that was available
in 8i with 9i.  I read somewhere that it has been deprecated in favour
of LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory) which provides an Oracle names
proxy (?), but that the original <oracle_home>\bin\names.exe is still
