Re: How to make connection to the local database using Personal Oracle 7.2

Billy,
  I have been following the conversations back and forth about connecting to the local DB with PO7. I am also having difficulty. When I looked for a LISTENER.ORA file under \ORAWIN95\NETWORK\ADMIN I could not find it. In fact, all that was there was the SQLNET.ORA and the TNSNAMES.ORA files. Can you tell me what it should look like? I am also recieving - 'no listener' messsage. It would be nice to connect.
TIA -- Jim Belcher
