Which three statements are true about naming methods? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. Local naming supports multiple protocols, but for any one connection, the client and server B. In the Easy Connect method, clients can connect to a database server by using the host name E. The directory naming method supports connect-time failover and load-balancing options. Naming methods facilitate client-server connections, where local naming supports various protocols, Easy Connect simplifies connections via hostname, and directory naming offers advanced features like connect-time failover and load balancing.

Why each option
Naming methods facilitate client-server connections, where local naming supports various protocols, Easy Connect simplifies connections via hostname, and directory naming offers advanced features like connect-time failover and load balancing.
Local naming, typically configured in a tnsnames.ora file, allows you to specify connection details for multiple network protocols. However, for a single established connection, both the client and server must utilize the identical network protocol for successful communication.
The Easy Connect naming method allows clients to connect to a database server by using a simple connection string that includes the host name or IP address, an optional port number (defaulting to 1521), and the service name or SID, without needing a local configuration file.
In the Easy Connect method, the listener port is optional if the default port 1521 is used, and the IP address can be substituted with a hostname, meaning not all these elements are strictly mandatory to provide explicitly.
The local naming method, configured in tnsnames.ora, does support connect-time failover and load-balancing options through specific parameters like ADDRESS_LIST, LOAD_BALANCE=on, and FAILOVER=on within the TNS alias definition.
The directory naming method, which uses a centralized LDAP directory server to store network service names, fully supports advanced connection options like connect-time failover and load balancing, enhancing connection reliability and resource distribution.
