Re: What's net got do with it

I am somewhat familiar with the TNS stack. I have read through the
documentation and can not find anything pertinent to my question. For
example, the Oracle9i Net Services Administrator's Guide says:
"The primary function of Oracle Net is to establish and maintain
connections between a client application and an Oracle database
server."

But I am not calling FROM a client TO the database server. I am
calling FROM the database server ( which is functioning as a client)
to a NON TNS application, namely an apache web server.

So, I'm still at a loss for why TNS should come into play when the
target server knows nothing about TNS. Could it be that Oracle
Network (TNS) is behaving as a proxy?



Your TNS error came from the client not the web server. The client did not
receive a response after a specified amount of time.
