RE: SQLNet and NET8

The answer is yes. SQL*Net and Net8 may contain the same Oracle Homes, but generally do not. Even if they did, SQL*Net connectivity would use the 16-bit drivers and apis whereas Net8 would use the 32-bit drivers and apis. Both pieces of software are intelligent enough to understand which connection to use. Additionally, your 3rd party vendor app will have the corresponding aps within their code tree and those will match the Oracle api it must connect to.

If you can, I would install in different homes, unless you are using an old version of Oracle where they are installed in the same tree.

Thank You

Hi,

I had encountered this question 3 years ago. But, unfortunately I don't remember the answer very well.

The answer for same ORACLE_HOME depends on the names of SQL*Net and NET8 files. If they are different, no problem. If same, use different ORACLE_HOME. As I said before, I'm not sure. But, This is documented in Oracle support.

Call them, they have the answer.

For different ORACLE_HOMEs, I don't see a problem.

regards...
