Re: How to use - "tnspng"

    It relies on a "nickname" of database connection to be     defined in tnsnames.ora, which says what is the (remote)     computer, what is the proto to use (TCP etc), port,     SID.     Take a look at that file, I beleive one comes by default,     it's pretty lucid.

    It's this "nickname" that tnsping need as a parameter to     check the "SQL/Net availability" of a (remote) DB.
