12546, 00000, "TNS:permission denied"
// *Cause: User has insufficient privileges to perform the requested
operation.
// *Action: Acquire necessary privileges and try again.
I've said this before & I'll say it again. When you are logged directly onto the same system as the DB server, then SQL*NET is NOT required to connect to the database; assuming your session is a member of the "dba" group (the same as owns Oracle's files).
It might be because remote access has not be enabled. SQL*Net implies remote access. SQL*NET does not know or care about where the "remote" client is located. Received on Sun May 15 2005 - 20:19:36 CDT
