Re: Do I need SQLnet listener started if all access local?

this would be fairly straightforward to test, wouldn't it ? just stop the listener, and see if your applications can still connect or not.

to answer your question, no, the listener is not required for connections via IPC or BEQ, depending on your os. TCP connections do require the listener, whether local or from a remote box.
