Hi Deepak
Here's what the doco says
The Bequeath protocol <glossary.htm> enables clients that exist on the same machine as the server to retrieve information from the database without using the listener. The Bequeath protocol internally spawns a dedicated server process for each client applications. In a sense, it does the same operation that a remote network listener does for your connection, yet locally.
Bequeath is used for local connections where an Oracle client application, such as SQL*Plus, communicates with an Oracle server running on the same machine
Tell me if I'm wrong but here's my take on it: When I connect from my pc, there's a process on my PC and there's a corresponding process on the database, say on a Unix server. Though the connection was initiated remotely, the process itself on the db server is still a local process that exists to communicate with the database.
Am I wrong? If so let me know.

hey lisa
Thats what i was temted to reply as well {lol} .. but
if you look closely .. both her conn are bequeth .. i
was under the impression that bequeth was used only
for local and not remote .. thats why we chose beq
over tcp for db's that resided in same box for
performance reasons .. or so i thought until now ;)
thoughts ..?
Thx
Deepak
