IMHO, you could safely ignore Sybrand's remark about German people.
It would be wise, however, if you not ignore his remarks about searching
( and , much more important, reading) the docs.
The Oracle Documentation is pretty comprehensive, well organized and has
excellent search functionality. So, one can easily be suspictious about
not finding in the documentation nothing about connect string . If i
start at
the high level entry for documentation - http://tahiti.oracle.com/ - and
enter in the search form "connect string" - i will come to the next page
immediately, which says 416 matches across 95 books for 10gR2 ( you can
choose the appropriate Oracle version ) and suggest to search further in
that library. Accept suggestion and you get to the next page, which
lists matches for different books. The most matched topics (except Error
Messages) - 33 - has Net Services Administrator's Guide. That complies
with the common sense as well - one will expect "connect string" to be
network related.
You go there and among first matches see Chapter: 3 Connectivity
Concepts. And here begins the part which is complementary to the
documentation search - the reading of documentation.
Unfortunately, you should do it yourself, probably more than one time,
then you have not a couple of recipes but understanding, how it works.
If you still don't understand some things, you can always post here the
quote from manuals ( trying to be as precise as possible ), most likely
you'll get polite and comprehensive explanations.
You should not be surprised however, that people here will feel annoyed,
if you try to compel somebody to do *your* job for free. ( And reading
documentation is definitely *everybody*'s own job).
