Re: Upgrade Oracle 7.3.3 to 7.3.4

Shirley

There are two ways to tell Oracle how to get to a database across a network (this is what I meant by SQL*Net naming resolution). One is by using an alias in a files called tnsnames.ora. Depending on your version, OS etc., it sits in a directory called something like $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.The other approach is to store the aliases centrally in a database using the Oracle*Names product. Then you tell Oracle where the Oracle*Names database is. If you don't know much about it, you're almost certainly not using Oracle Names, so set the service to manual startup and stop it running. Then see if you can reproduce the problem you originally had.
