Waleed Yes, it's a web application and uses a listener. The listener entry has not been modified. There was a vague reference in the MTS docs that eluded to using a special connection string. But I got the impression that you would use a special connection string *if* you wanted the abillity to chooose between direct connection or mts (shared). In my case Id simply like to have all connections to use MTS. Should I be using a special connection string or listener entry? If so where can I find some examples Here is my asp application connection string (using the Oracle OLEDB provider wich is current) Connect=Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;PLSQLRSet=1;Password=z;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=me;Data Source=mydb Here is my traditional sql+ connection username/password@instance So, Im wondering what type of "special" connection string I'd need for mts (if that's the case) Listener entry (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME =mydb) (ORACLE_HOME = C:\Oracle\Ora81) (SID_NAME = mydb) ) This is on win2k server, Oracle 8.1.7 Thanks! bob -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Bob Metelsky INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
