If your client resides in a different machine than the DB server, it would
the exactly the same, 'cause your are connecting to your server through the
listener.
However, in a UNIX environment if you connect as local, that consumes less
resources since your are running on IPC protocol which is internally used by
the MTS.

Subject: Diff between local and network connection
I have a unix server and when i connect to a db i can make a connection by
doing
sqlplus /@db
and connect through the listener
or
sqlplus /
without a connect string and it takes my current Oracle sid and makes a
local connection
my question is what is the difference between the 2 types of connections,
should i be using 1 over the other, are there performance benefits from
making a local connection?
