Hi guys,

Thanks for all the tips.

I got this to work on Windows DOS:

sqlplus user/pass@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MyOraDB)))

But, I could not get it to work on Linux Shell. I am getting shell errors.

"bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('"

Any ideas?
