I installed Oracle9i (v9.2) on Mandrake Linux9.2. At the moment the
configuration is not complete, but I am reading the manuals and will
fix it soon. (One thing is that only the Oracle user can log in to
the database; no other users can; although I have made sure all their
environment variables are exactly the same.)
My question is that on Windows (again with Oracle 9i), I can log in to
the database using the Oracle SID. But on Linux, it only accepts the
service name (Global DB Name) for a connection. Is this some new
behavior that is going to be standard from now on? Should I stop
using the SIDs in my apps?
