As everyone in this thread seems so
knowledgeable
about NT, I would like to digress and ask a related
question.
When I use oradim to create a service,
oradim -new -sid MINE -pfile c:\mine\initMINE.ora
....
The service is created, the instance is
started!!
BUT, when I use svrmgrl to shutdown the
instance
and then try to start it up, it complains because
the
init file does not exist in
%ORACLE_HOME%\pfile
BUT the oradim DID create the entry:
ORA_MINE_PFILE = c:\mine\initMINE.ora
So what is this registry entry used
for?
And why do I need to place the init.or
under
%ORACLE_HOME%\pfile
Thanks

Rick,
I
think Networking services means TNSNAMES/SQLNET.ORA stuff (like a client
install).
You
could do a custom install (I think) and just install TNS Listener, and not the
starter database.

Ok, I am getting a little closer to figuring out what
is going on. I did mis-state the type of install I did first. It was minimal
installation without the starter
database. This did NOT create a listener service. However it clearly
states it would install networking services.
I
did a 2nd TYPICAL install and it did create a tnslistener
service.
As
soon as I get time/ambition/curiousity I will do a 3rd install WITH starter
database to see it that will create a listener service.
I
really do not want a starter database installed to get a tnslistener service
but I could always delete it if I do not want
it(Kldugy)!!!

Hi Rick,
I ran into this as well. I
figured I didn't need a listener on my w2k box because everything was
going to be local. However I couldn't connect via sqlplus gui
without a listener (no listener error - maybe because I am specifying the
sid). I guess it's just another difference between Oracle on windows
and Oracle on Unix.
If I remember right (it's been
soooo long) when you connect in Unix with the $ORACLE_SID as part of your
env, you can do so without @. If you do it with the @, it looks for a
listener. When connecting via a windows gui, you are
specifying the sid. I'm guessing it's doing something similar to the
@ in the background. The cmd window connects without the @ because
it's in the environment.
By the way, how do you display an
environment variable in Windows? I thought it was echo %ORACLE_SID%,
but that doesn't work. Anyone?
Again I may be pre-coffee.

No TNSListner service after intall 8.1.7 on Win
2k
Hi All,
I did a typical installation of Oracle 8.1.7
on Win 2k. It appears to have
installed Ok. I can use srvmgrl -> create database ->
etc.
However when I try to use
worksheet I get no listner. I should not need one
from the server. Anyway the install did not create
service
to start the listener.
All other installs I have done on NT always created
a tnslistner service. This in my first install on Win
2k.
Anyone have any ideas on why
service did not get created and how to correct?
Thanks
Rick
