Hi everybody,

I installed Orace 8.0.3 Enterprise edition on Win NT 4.0 I can connect with SQL-Plus 8.0 to the database. I cannot connect with SQL-Plus 3.3, I get the error-message 'ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed'. This SQL-Plus is a part of the Designer 2.0 Beta. I cannot connect with Forms 5.0 or Reports 3.0 either.
With Designer 2.0 Beta comes SQL-Net 2.3 but Oracle 8 has got SQL-Net 8.0

My server and my client are ONE machine, what do I need at client and or at server-side ?

There is:

SQL-Net 2.3 Server
SQL-Net 2.3 Client
SQL-Net 8.0 Server
SQL-Net 8.0 Client

TNS Listener 8.0

I've almost tried every combination of above, what am i doing wrong?

I've got a TNSNAMES.ORA in $ORACLE_HOME\NET80\ADMIN and in $ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN

Thanks in advance Received on Wed Jan 21 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
