    Cool IPC Vs TCP for DBLink

    Hi,
    I guess , Gurus up here did gone thru this...,
    and would like to learn their bullet points .

    What is the performance difference,
    when dblink refers with following protocols mix-match.
    ( Assuming all instances on the same server ).

    1) IPC <-> IPC
    2) IPC <-> TCP
    3) TCP <-> TCP

    Thanks in advance.
    Jr.

    Well if you give connect string while connecting to a DB then Oracle/OS is bound to use TCP.. Aint it?

    If so how can u achieve your first option?

    Why do you think that Oracle can only use TCP protocol?

    Well logically it should be TCP.. Because if you give connect string oracle is bound to search for the listener on the HOST.. And in Listener.Ora you would have mentioned

    Code:
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
            (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Hostname)(PORT = 1521))
          )
    funky...

    Code:
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = nmp)(SERVER=my_server)(PIPE=my_pipe))
    )

    Thas fine but here it was IPC vs TCP.. can you use IPC if there is connect string specified from client/server?

    Right. But you said "... if you give connect string while connecting to a DB then Oracle/OS is bound to use TCP", which certanly is not true, regardles of the initial question.

    Nevertheless, if you want to stick with the original question, how about:
    Code:
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = MY_IPC))
    Why do you think this wouldn't work with the databse links? Original poster explicitely mentioned all instances to be addressed via db links are on the same server, so what's wrong with using IPC for db links?

    Hi Jurij

    will your stuff work..i was under the impression that IPC cannot work over network say from machine A to machine B it works only on a single machine..
