Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Connecting to local database without database alias
I have installed a number of Oracle 8.0.5 databases on individual workstations, and I can connect to the database on the local machine by entering the connect string (eg) system/manager - that is, I don't have to enter @<alias> . This is the only database on the workstation.
Now I'm installing Oracle 8.1.6 on workstations, and I'm finding that I have to enter an alias under all circumstances. Has the default installation changed? (these are all straight-forward installs on NT 4, OEM edition - not personal).
What communiction method was 8.0.5 using to allow no connect string - bequeath? named pipes? Can I install some protocol and/or make some setting changes on the 8.1.6 environment so that the alias is not needed? Again, these were all very basic, default installs.
Thanks! Chris
