Re: [8i] priority rules between database

Hi Frederic,

> a) Is this an established rule or just random ?

The RULE is:

sqlplus name/password_at_alias

1. look in tnsnames.ora to resolve the alias name
2. get the listener address and SID/SERVICE_NAME
3. ask to listener to get a connection for SID/SERVICE_NAME
4. listener starts server processes
5. client connects to server process

> b) How can I reach my INST_1 on SERVER_A from SERVER_B ?

add an tnsnames entry ($ORACLE_HOME/network/admin or env variable TNS_ADMIN directory)
