Re: telnet to listener

Hi Rocky,

Sybrand is correct just use OEM it already does what you want.

If all you have is a socket connection to the listener through your tool then to get it to work you would need to replay a sequence of TNS packets to connect to the database and then send your select statement. The TNS protocol is proprietary and not published so you would need to work out how the authentication hand shake works and whether it can be just replayed. Its completely not worth it as doing so could invalidate your Oracle license as it could be construed as reverse engineering, just use OEM as Sybrand suggests its easier.

hth

kind regards

Pete
