Connect Type | From the list, select if you want this net service name to use a dedicated
server, shared server (multi-threaded
server (MTS), or whatever the database has been configured with.
If MTS is configured, you can select Dedicated Server to force the listener to spawn a dedicated server, bypassing MTS configuration. If MTS is configured in the initialization file and you want to guarantee this connection always uses MTS, select Shared Server. |
