I think the point that was missed here is that there are two types of SQL*Net connections possible. These are connections made through local or remote protocols. For local protocols, connections can be made with the "bequeath" adapter which does not require a listener connection, or an IPC adapter which will use a listener connection. For remote protocols, typically TCP is used and are always through a listener connection.

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.

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 :)
