Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> remote connection with SQL*Plus
Perhap I'm overlooking something in the docs but I don't can't seem to find
the incantation I'm looking for. Full Oracle 8.0.5 install on one machine
and the client library and SQL*Plus on another (both Solaris). On the
server, I can connect to the database with SQL*Plus but on the other
machine, the connection attempt just hangs. When the SQL*Plus process
fires up prompting for a username, I thought the syntax was "user_at_host" and
it'd connect to whatever database ORACLE_SID is set to but that doesn't seem
to do it. I fired up the listener with lsnrctl as the oracle user on the
server... what's missing here?
TIA
