Re: connect to the databases without using tnsnames.ora?

Neither sqlnet.ora or tnsnames.ora are required.

You can connect to a database by specifying the full connect string.

This will work from sqlplus:

  connect
system/manager@(description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=remedydev)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=orcl)))

It works, but is not terribly convenient.

I don't imagine your dba was doing this though. Could it be that Oracle Names servers are being used? They don't require tnsnames.ora files.

Does anyone here knows how to setup the connections to the database server without using tnsnames.ora?

Our DBA didn't use it. But I don't know how and why? Could anyone tell me the other options?
