Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Listener weirdness?
While testing something else (10g listener, 9i database) I came across
something that is stumping me. Tnsping works "everywhere", but sqlplus
only works from certain drives. Or, I should say, it does not work from
one drive.
Any/all links/ideas/commentary/explanations welcome.
Thanks,
-joe
Listener is 10.2.0.1.0 (OracleXE, if that matters)
Database is 9.2.0.1 (EE, if that matters)
C: is local (duh), U: and K: are mapped.
All software installed locally on C:
Listener.log shows the successful connections but not the failures.
(On the U drive)
