Basically it is a shell variable that lets you avoid specifying full connect
strings. If ou do not specify a driver or an alias on the
command line, SL*NET TCP/Ip reads the two task environment vairable to
determine the default alias or the default driver and its parameters.
for example:
sqlplus john/doe_at_local
with export TWO_TASK="local" in Korn-shell or specify another database you can do: sqlplus john/doe
If you have any documentation,
the two_task variable van be explained in the sqlnet tcp/ip user's guide.
