Hi,

I want to access one database schema which is at some other geographical area. I want to access that database using SQL*PLUS or TOAD not iSQLplus. Will anyone please help me in this.

1. How to configure the database ?
2. How to configure my cliend software for the same ?

thanks in advance.

Rgds

1. You have to configure "listener.ora" on the server ( This would be by default )

2. On your client machine, you should add the server's details in the "tnsnames.ora" file. For that you should know the database name, server DNS name/IP address, port #. Check out the other default entries in tnsnames for an idea.

You are good to go.

TOAD software automatically picks the entries up from the tnsnames.ora file in the client machine.

First make sure you have network access to the remote host. Then create a tnsnames.ora entry for the remote db. Something like that

REMOTEDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = remotehost.domain.com)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = REMOTE_DB_SID)
)
)

Once done - check the

$ tnsping REMOTEDB

and of course the SQL*Plus

$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect user/password@remotedb

Hope that helps,
