The other stuff works because tcp is already configured for certain well-known ports. Re Informix, and other rdms's, communication is done thru a particular site specific port. It's up to the sysadmin to decide on which port to use at each end for db stuff. Did yours do that? Usually the port is defined, along with the standard tcp stuff, in the /etc/services file.

I'm not an oracle dba, but that's how it simply works with informix. Received on Sat Nov 06 1999 - 23:58:20 CST
