Re: ORACLE SQL*NET protocol decode question

Someone asked about this some time ago. The only answer I could come up with is to have a look at a library which bypasses the Oracle client and talks directly to the remote listener. I These libraries have somehow reverse engineered the protocl and talk to the listener in the same way the JDBC thin driver talks to the db.

Anyway, none of it is "in writing" and the protocol can change at any version. Having said that, one such library that comes with source is crlab's ODAC net sdriver. You can find it at crlab.com. To get the source you have to pay for the library which I think is written in object pascal.

There might be others out there. Received on Thu Apr 10 2003 - 21:27:44 CDT
