If the TWO_TASK environment variable is not set, then a login w/ 
username/password will connect to the local database running out of 
$ORACLE_HOME and identified by $ORACLE_SID.

If the TWO_TASK environment variable is set, then a login w/ username/password 
will connect to a database identified by connect string with the value of 
$TWO_TASK.  In other words, it's the same as typing username/password@$TWO_TASK.

Note that if TWO_TASK is set, it will always override ORACLE_SID.

Hope that helps,

-Mark

Subject: sqlplus connect string issue

Hi

For one of my databases i am unable to connect using
sqlplus user/password
but when i try
sqlplus 
username/password@connect-string<mailto:username/password@connect-string>  it 
connects

The error message i get using sqlplus username/password is
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

There are many other databases on this server and they work fine.
The thing that is different about this database is

The tnsnames.ora has an entry for this database pointing to another host on 
port 1522.
The local listener parameter on the database says the database is registered 
for a listener on port 1527

i did a truss -o log sqlplus username/password but clueless on what i should 
look or fix so i can connect using just sqlplus username/password without the 
connection string.

regards
Hrishy
