Re: running oracle server (NT) on satic port

It is my understanding that this is correct as you have said.

After the initial contact via port 1521 the listener establishes a new connection on an unused port. In this way multiple connections can proceed at the same time. But the initial connection is always via the port specified in the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora (or names server) files. How could it be otherwise? In fact I understand that multiple ports can be set up an listened to, again via the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files, but I have not seen this done. We seem to prefer port 1521 at work as most do. Although to handle certain kinds of security from a know source we have considered setting up specific additional ports or multiple listeners. Again we have not done that yet.
