Re: WebDb Installation

[Quoted] The part about the connect string lack is correct - I failed to add that the [Quoted] LOCAL value had to be set to the tnsnames.ora alias for the remote DB....

[Quoted] As for the listener, once you set the /_admin/gateway.htm and /_admin/listener.htm correctly
 WebDb uses that info to connect and does not need a LOCAL set on the client - [Quoted] it uses the tnsnames.ora ( the one on the server that is running the listener ) [Quoted] file entry corresponding to the DAD ( for building the default is WEBDB )...
