service_name and SID connection string question
Can someone help me understand why I am able to connect to our test system with service_name and sid but in our other environment we cannot.
I am not sure how all the different parameters are interconnected. Networking has always been a little head scratching to me with oracle
Does the listener come into play at all? We are using dynamic registration, so no sid or service names listed.
works
