Hi
I've installed 9i on my pc for experimentation. I don't want to do any of
the internet part of 9i. I just want to do database stuff. I don't want to
expend resources that are not required to support the database. It seems
that Oracle has installed 9 services. What is the minimum complement of
services required to have a plain old database? No web services or other
frills desired.
Thanks,
Bill

Once you have created the database, and assuming you want to connect from
the same machine that you have the database on, the minimum is just the
service for the database. OracleService<DatabaseName> . If you wish to use
connect from a remote machine you wll also need a listener running.

It appears that two services are minimum: OracleService<dbname> and
Oracle...TNSListener. Even if one is connecting from the same machine.

You only need the listener service if you are connecting using the listener
(eg connect username/password@tnsnamesentry Local connections eg connect
username/password don't go through the listener but you do need some
environment variables set.
