Anyone on the list from Oracle or have Oracle contacts? Maybe Oracle would re-assign the port to ASF for Derby? Dan. In a quick search, I did tend to see it in configuration examples e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/discoverer/pdf/4i_generic_connectivity.pdf and there seem to be a lot of oracle forum questions like "I have a database server listening on port 1527". Can't seem to find it now but the other day I saw some Oracle document that said something like "Use an Oracle registered port such as 1527." It would be nice if they would give it up, but I think probably not. I worked for Oracle for 7 years.  Port 1521 is the only one you should be really concerned about.  Port 1526 is considered the secondary backup port for the listener.  I really believe the reference to port 1527 in the document above is a typographical error, and should have been 1521.  I have never once hear of 1527 being used by Oracle or any of its customers. Your use of port 1527 should be a non-issue to Oracle users. Ed
