I have a unix server and when i connect to a db i can make a connection by doing
sqlplus /@db
and connect through the listener
or
sqlplus /
without a connect string and it takes my current Oracle sid and makes a local connection
my question is what is the difference between the 2 types of connections, should i be using 1 over the other, are there performance benefits from making a local connection?
