As long as your tnsnames.ora file is configured properly, you should be able to connect to your database. I connect to a database using sqlplus and Oracle Forms that has a firewall. I've had no problems.

On occassion I will get the ORA error TNSnames unresolved because of slow response time over the internet. Other than that, no problems. Received on Mon Mar 04 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
