CONNECT_DATA
Synopsis
CONNECT_DATA = [(FAILOVER_MODE...)] [(GLOBAL_DBNAME =global_database_name)] [(HS = OK)] [(INSTANCE_NAME =instance_name)] [(RDB_DATABASE =rdb_filename)] [(SERVER = {DEDICATED | SHARED}] [(SERVICE_NAME =database_service)] [(SID =system_identifier)]
Identifies the database service or instance that is the target of a description. Oracle8i databases should normally be identified by their service name. Alternatively, you can specify a SID in order to connect to a specific instance.
Parameters
- global_database_name
Identifies an Oracle Rdb database. This parameter should only be used when connecting to an Oracle Rdb database.
- HS = OK
Tells Net8 that you are connecting to a service that is not an Oracle or Oracle Rdb database. The HS is an acronym for Heterogeneous Services.
- instance_name
Identifies a specific Oracle instance to which you want to connect. This is useful when a service has more than one instance, and you want to connect specifically to one of those instances. An instance name should always be specified in conjunction with a service name.
Tip
An instance name is usually, but not always, identical to the SID. Instance names are set using the INSTANCE_NAME parameter in the instance’s parameter file.
- rdb_ filename
Identifies an Oracle Rdb database by its filename. You may include the path and extension as part of the filename.
- SERVER
Specifies the type of connection to make to an Oracle database. Valid values are as follows:
- DEDICATED
Create a dedicated server connection. ...
