Thread: auto default a tnsname

    On an Open VMS system running Oracle 8i client I access a database on another server using sqlplus with the following syntax:

    sqlplus username/password@tnsname

    This works fine but I don't want to bother with typing @tnsname each time. The DB is on another server so defining ORACLE_SID doesn't do it for me. Is there another logical I can set?

    Hi,

    you can create an alias for invoking sqlplus itself. Have multiple aliases created for different servicenames in .profile. I am talking about unix. I don't know about VMS.

    Not sure about VMS, but in unix you can set TWO_TASK to the net service name to accomplish what you want.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Defining a TWO_TASK logical didn't work so it looks like there isn't a shortcut for this.

    Do you have the equivalent of export (in unix) in VMS?
    In unix unless you export the TWO_TASK variable it does not work either!
