ORA-03135 : Database Resident Connection Pool
Trying to setup DRCP 11g patchset 11.1.0.6 on Linux x86-64..
The pool can be configured using the PLSQL package DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.
First start connection pool ( I am using default parameters ):
SQL> execute dbms_connection_pool.start_pool;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Then simply change tnsnames.ora and set
SERVER=POOLED Let’s try to connect
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>sqlplus system@demo11g
