No, Not quite right.
Oracle WILL spawn a process if you are using
dedicate server processes. <FONT face=Arial
size=2>It will ONLY NOT
spawn the process if you are using MTS
(well technically it could, if it needed an
additional server process and
you were not yet at the max_servers value
.... but I digress...)

Subject: RE: Checking Oracle user Process
in unix
Whenever you say $sqlplus <username>,
Oracle spawns a dedicated server process to connect to database
using Bequeath protocol (in this case) which bypasses the listener ,I
guess.
When you use the connect string(<A
href="mailto:sqlplus_at_sqlplus@<conenct_string>),
Oracle connects thru the listener process/port(whatever), so probably, it does
not require to spawn another process.
HTH,
