What should I do and why use this?

This application explores tnsnames.ora files which can often become unmanageable or disconnected. Once you have located your tnsname.ora you can drop the file in the area above. The file is then parsed and exposed in the browser checking syntax and allowing for search and filtering.

tnsnames.ora files in general are pretty boring and you never really have to deal with them but when the time comes to crack them open they can be annoying. This application exposes their structure offing possible syntax issues and tools to organize entries based on a number of criteria.

Please note, no data is sent to a server, a large goal of this application is to keep the text local.
