Well... I concluded that I was not using BEQUEATH because I looked at listener.ora, sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora and saw only "PROTOCOL = TCP" and "PROTOCOL = IPC". But I just noticed that when I do a ps, I see
oracle 8429 8404 2 14:46 ? 00:00:07 oracle<sid> (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq))) Clearly, it appears that I might be using the BEQUEATH adapter after all. I did some research in the docs but couldn't find anything which explained how to choose one over the other (I'm sure it's there, I just couldn't find it). Should I simply add "bequeath_detach = yes" to sqlnet.ora, as Rob has suggested in the past, or is there more to it? thanks, janine On 4/23/02 1:30 PM, "Rob Mayoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > +---------- On Apr 23, Barry Books said: >> I have not run on Linux in a while but when I did I remember having to set >> the database handle timeout to a very large number otherwise I had this >> problem.
