TNSPing will simplt tell you if the listener is up-and-running, while the db login will actualy tell you if you can login into the given db.

Without doing some testing, they can't remember, but think there are a couple possible situations where TNSPing will succeed but the database isn't in a usable state.

Currently Servers Alive is able to do an Oracle check by using the Oracle OLE objects and doing a login to the Oracle db. Do you get situations were doing a login is too much/not accepted and that a TNSPing would be better? Dirk Bulinckx.
