Technically, the SQL*Net Listener is the multi-threaded server-side daemon or service that runs continuously. The SQL*Net client is, well, the client, just like any other client/server application. This particular client/server combination provides the database transport protocol understood by Oracle.

Hope this helps. No such thing as a dumb question.
