I have a working JDBC connection to my Oracle 8.1.7 database. I have a trigger that is apparently "invalid" (an insert fails with that message). I guess I have to get into an environment where I can see compile errors for triggers. I have a generic JDBC browser (SQuirreL), but I don't think I can see trigger compile details in that interface.
So, I guess I have to use "sqlplus" or somesuch to see this information. What's unclear to me is, given my working JDBC connection, how do I specify the connection information for "sqlplus"? it seems to require a "connect_string", but I don't know what form that is in. I have my working JDBC url, which has information about the database host and instance name, but I don't know what pieces of that are needed for the "connect_string".

If you are just using a thin jdbc client which doesnt need Oracle client installation,then you will need to install Oracle client(sqlplus,networking components etc). Once the client is installed,you should be able to configure tns alias using Net Easy config utility specifying the host,port,SID,protocol etc. The tns connect strings are usually stored in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
An example of connect string definition is as follows:
DEV08 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mercury)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = DEV08)
)
)
and you would connect as
sqlplus user/password@tns_connect_string
