I'm not sure we're hitting the nail on this one. Just a sqlplus user/password locally should not use the listener because it works when the listener is stopped.
<<< [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/10 1:31p >>> Thanks Lisa, but I already checked that. I used to think this as well. But according to Rachel and Tom the listener is apparently used even if the @sid is not present. Glad I wasn't the only one laboring under that misapprehension :) Jay -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 1:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Miller, Jay connection Jay, if the connection was made with @ORACLE_SID (sqlplus user/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) then the listener is used. If the connection was made with the sid defined in the environment variable ORACLE_SID and without @ (sqlplus user/pw) the listener is not used. List please correct me if I'm wrong.

He then started 4 queries, spooling the output to the unix server (again, local). He was curious as to why the sessions were both taking so long and why they alternated between showing as Active and Inactive in v$session. When I checked v$session_wait for his sessions I saw that they were a mix of SQL*Net message from client and SQL*Net message to client Since he's not connecting through the listener, why would this wait event show up? There should be no network activity at all (I double checked that the SQL is not using any database links). Any ideas?
