hi all,
I have few doubts and forum is the best place to ask . Is oracle client the only way to connect to the server or can we use odbc ,jdbc ,ldap etc .Is tns always required for a connection .Say if i dont have a tns file , can i still connect to the database ? I have three options to connect to the database using toad, one is tns ,ldap and direct . whats the difference ? Please take some time to answer this question or provide me a link.
Thanks
