Hi, We have installed an Oracle 9i DB into a windows 2003 server. That server has internet access with ADSL 2048/256. on the other side the terminal client has internet access via satellite connection 1024/512. We noticed that the client pc via satellite is slower. we run an ethereal to see the packets and we saw that there are alot connections in order to fetch the results.
Is there a way to change this and with fewer connection per query the DB server return the data with one or fewer connection
???

Thanks

we tried the same connection through dialup and we got faster response time! is this possible? i believe that the timeouts are small for satellite connectivity is there a way to increase them and have an increase in perfomance or someother way??

First, You should know I have no idea about sattelite connections, bu tperhaps You should talk to whoever You bought it from.

Have You tested the connection by fx. transferring a large file?

Normal client behaviour is to open only a single connection.
This is done by
1) Contacting the DB listener, normally on port 1521.
2) Listener tells the database to start a client process, which are then assigned a port (port X).
3) Listener answers the client about where the client process can be reached.
4) Listener disconnects.
5) Client connects to the client process on the server (port X).

Hope this helps.

Yes we have tested the connection by downloading large files and it reaches the maximum of the line we have. Although in the queries it kept down to 3kbps. we tried to change the windowsize but with no achievement

How are You connecting - what kind of client are You running?

We have the server direct to the satellite modem. The client is the application we use...nevertheless we tried the SQLPLUS and we saw that the times to connect to the database and the data that returned were slower.

You really give a lot of details here!

"The client is the application we use"

Doh - I never saw that one coming Smile
And here I thought You were using somebody else's application!

"we tried the SQLPLUS and we saw that the times to connect to the database and the data that returned were slower."

Slower than what? The application?

If that is Your (real) issue, I think You are looking in the wrong direction - something else is happening here.

But.... unless You give some details here, I cannot help You.

Sorry

I am sorry . Wrong grammar i suppose.

Anyway we use the application of an ERP client to connect to the ERP server. When we do that, the times are very slow.

Also when we use the simple SQLPLUS to connect direct to the DB the times to connect are the same as the erp's client program.
