Slow login over TCP

616027Jan 4 2008 — edited Jan 7 2008
Hi All, and Happy New Year!

I am using a clean install of 11g on Centos 5, with some data imported from a 8.x server.

The actual problem I am trying to solve are slow connect/logins via some perl using DBI/DBD::Oracle, but this basic test with sqlplus shows the same problem nicely.

I can connect without TCP in 0.05s, but using TCP it takes 6+ seconds!

[oracle@legacy ~]$ time echo exit |sqlplus myuser/mypass

sys 0m0.030s

Further testing shows that if I connect using sqlplus myuser@ora816 I get the password prompt immediately - the delay is after entering the password. Not sure if that is relevant or not.

I have not been able to figure out how to enable tracing for sqlplus (but can for tnsping). The closest thing I can find to a problem is the following from running "adapters"

Error!!! Oracle Names Server Naming is not completely installed!

I ran netca and checked everything and everything looked fine, so I am not sure how to resolve this one (if it is indeed the cause of my slowness).

Here is all the relevant info I can think of. Please let me know if I need to provide anything else.
