Hi,
 Exactly how do you change it fron the source DB to the target DB? I think this answer your question

fROM http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142 sid41_gci940662,00.html
When a process is on the same machine as the server, use the IPC protocol for connectivity instead of TCP. Inner Process Communication on the same machine does not have the overhead of packet building and deciphering that TCP has. I've seen a SQL job that runs in 10 minutes using TCP on a local machine run as fast as one minute using an IPC connection. The difference in time is most dramatic when the Oracle process has to send and/or receive large amounts of data to and from the database. For example, a SQL*Plus connection that counts the number of rows of some tables will run about the same amount of time, whether the database connection is made via IPC or TCP. But if the SQL*Plus connection spools much data to a file, the IPC connection will often be much faster -- depending on the data transmitted and the machine workload on the TCP stack.

You can set up your tnsnames file like this on a local machine so that local connection with use IPC connections first and then TCP connection second.

PROD =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(Key = IPCKEY))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYHOST)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PROD)
    )
  )

To see if the connections are being made via IPC or TCP, turn on listener logging and review the listener log file.  

I only ask if someone has something against doing this when using database links?

IPC depends upon the value of ORACLE_SID. Right? Exactly how do you change it fron the source DB to the target DB?  

Ready, Fire, Aim!
