SQL*Net and Net8
Oracle achieves its goal of transparent connectivity between and among its products through the use of a product called SQL*Net.
Tip
With the introduction of Oracle8, SQL*Net has been renamed Net8. However, except for some added functionality, Net8 and SQL*Net are the same product; thus, when we refer to SQL*Net, we will mean both SQL*Net and Net8 unless otherwise noted.
