Re: Reverse engineering existing remote Oracle 9i DB?

One easy way of doing this is to use port-forwarding over a SSH connection. It's pretty trivial to set up, you set up the listener to listen on localhost (127.0.0.1) on a port of your choice and then simply get your SSH client (we use Tera Term) to forward connections on this port to localhost at the server end. You then point your tnsnames alias on your client machine to localhost rather than the server and as long as you have a SSH connection open it will forward your Oracle traffic over it's encrypted connection.
