I'm sure this in the documentation somewhere so I apologize ahead of
time
for what may be a dull posting, but can someone explain the different
parts
of an entry in the tnsnames.ora file? I understand SID, Protocol, Host,
and Port,
but I'm confused by ".world", what the difference is between that and
"Community",
as well as address_list and address. Any comments would be
appreciated. If someone
knows where in the documentation to look for a detailed explanation that
would be nice as well. Oracle 7.3.3 or Oracle 8 documentation.
Example1.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = Production1)
(Port = 1521)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SID1)
)
)
