You can have connections to multiple db servers simultaneously, even in one program ( E.g., TOAD ), not to mention different programs connecting to different db servers. SQL*Net can handle it. This problem seems to be related to your application. It seems to have been programmed to read the connection information from some key in the registry. Talk to your developer to change this, so you can select at runtime which db server you want to connect to.

Hope this helps
