Afternoon Lisa, I thought that BEQ and (for example) IPC protocols both used the listener to spawn a server-side process. The difference is in the protocol used in the communication between the remote and local processes. IPC uses Unix Domain Sockets to communicate between the client-side and server-side processes, where BEQ uses Unix pipes. I had assumed that this was why BEQ connections had to be local. This is the view expounded in Note: 1014940.6. If I've got it wrong, it'd be nice to know. Any comments, Gurus?
Thanks, Harry Lowes Database Administrator, npower Northern Limited mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- Sent: 28 November 2001 14:00 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Deepak Here's what the doco says The Bequeath protocol <glossary.htm> enables clients that exist on the same machine as the server to retrieve information from the database without using the listener. The Bequeath protocol internally spawns a dedicated server process for each client applications. In a sense, it does the same operation that a remote network listener does for your connection, yet locally. Bequeath is used for local connections where an Oracle client application, such as SQL*Plus, communicates with an Oracle server running on the same machine Tell me if I'm wrong but here's my take on it: When I connect from my pc, there's a process on my PC and there's a corresponding process on the database, say on a Unix server. Though the connection was initiated remotely, the process itself on the db server is still a local process that exists to communicate with the database. Am I wrong? If so let me know. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 5:25 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L hey lisa Thats what i was temted to reply as well {lol} .. but if you look closely .. both her conn are bequeth .. i was under the impression that bequeth was used only for local and not remote .. thats why we chose beq over tcp for db's that resided in same box for performance reasons .. or so i thought until now ;) thoughts ..?
