Hi Harry,
I admit ignorance.
Networking was never my strong point. IN fact sometimes I wonder
if I still have one.
Thanks for your response.

RE: Connection question?
Afternoon Lisa,
I thought that BEQ and (for example)
IPC protocols both used the listener to
spawn a server-side process. The difference
is in the protocol used in the
communication between the remote and
local processes. IPC uses Unix Domain
Sockets to communicate between the
client-side and server-side processes,
where BEQ uses Unix pipes. I had assumed
that this was why BEQ connections
had to be local. This is the view
expounded in Note: 1014940.6. If I've got
it wrong, it'd be nice to know. Any
comments, Gurus?
Thanks,
Harry Lowes

Hi Deepak
Here's what the doco says
The Bequeath protocol <glossary.htm>
enables clients that exist on the same
machine as the server to retrieve
information from the database without
using the listener. The Bequeath protocol
internally spawns a dedicated
server process for each client applications.
In a sense, it does the same
operation that a remote network listener
does for your connection, yet
locally.
Bequeath is used for local connections
where an Oracle client application,
such as SQL*Plus, communicates with
an Oracle server running on the same
machine
Tell me if I'm wrong but here's my
take on it: When I connect from my pc,
there's a process on my PC and there's
a corresponding process on the
database, say on a Unix server.
Though the connection was initiated
remotely, the process itself on the
db server is still a local process that
exists to communicate with the database.
Am I wrong? If so let me know.

hey
lisa
Thats
what i was temted to reply as well {lol} .. but
if you look closely .. both her conn
are bequeth .. i
was under the impression that bequeth
was used only
for local and not remote .. thats
why we chose beq
over tcp for db's that resided in
same box for
performance reasons .. or so i thought
until now ;)
thoughts
..?
Thx
Deepak
