Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi DBAs, This is a partial response from Oracle on ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process "...12500 is a sqlnet error, and you are connecting internal... This usually does not use the listener...." I do not understand this explanation, can someone clarify? Is Oracle saying if you connect via internal that the listener is not used.
