If you are using Multiple Oracle Homes, change to the desired Oracle 8 Home and view the oracle.key file in ORACLE_HOME\BIN to find which registry key to add USE_SHARED_SOCKET to. Note that as WINSOCK V2 allows a socket to be shared between multiple processes, you cannot restart the listener without taking the database down first. This should work with 07 client, but Must be 8 or 8i server. The registry entry is ONLY for the 8 or 8i server. If you are able to, I would recommend that you take the time to configure CMAN, as this will provide more flexibility and functionality than the USE_SHARED_SOCKET method Hope this helps NeilC Michael Poremski wrote: > > On Thu, 04 May 2000 10:17:59 +0100, NeilC > wrote: > > >hi, > > > >put the following entry in the registry > > > >USE_SHARED_SOCKET = TRUE > > Dear Neil, > > that's the key that I won't remember.
