Study Notes
Oracle Net Services Overview
- A set of tools and technologies for enabling communication between Oracle databases and client applications.
- Facilitates various networking protocols, providing a transparent connection management system.
Role of the Oracle Net Listener
- Acts as an intermediary between client requests and the database server.
- Listens for incoming client connection requests on a specific port, typically 1521.
- Manages the connections by establishing and maintaining communication channels with the database.
Service Name in Oracle Net Services
- A logical representation of an Oracle database instance.
- Allows clients to connect by specifying the service name instead of detailed connection parameters.
- Facilitates load balancing and failover between multiple instances of databases.
LREG Process in Oracle Net Services
- Known as the Listener Registration process.
- Responsible for registering database instances with the Oracle Net Listener.
- Updates the listener with the status of database instances for efficient connection management.
Installation and Configuration Features
- Provides utilities for installing and configuring network components easily.
- Supports flexible network configuration to adapt to various environments and requirements.
- Enables setting up of secure connections and advanced features like connection pooling and failover capabilities.
