Difference between Service Name and SID.

PsystecMay 26 2017 — edited Jun 2 2017

Hello Fellow Earthlings

I'm a bit new when it comes to creating Oracle drivers and I was the lucky winner assigned to make an oracle driver.

My driver works but, the connection string that the driver creates bypasses TNSnames, meaning its a bit of a manual string creation.

Currently my driver only replaces the SID variable and does not cater for Service_Names.

I know that Service Names are used in Cluster's and SID is a unique DB name usually, but beyond this is know nothing more.

Questions:

What is the difference between a Service Name and SID in the TNSnames? (technical answer if possible)

Can I use both in the TNSnames?

Kind Regards and thanks in advance.
