Re: Connect from sqlplus on Unix to SQL Server On Nt

I'm no expert on SQL Server. But I doubt that you can do what you are asking. When you define a service name in TNSNAMES, then you are defining the characteristics to connect from an Oracle product to an Oracle database. This connection goes through Oracle's SQL*Net or Net8 network substrate. So I doubt (but I could be wrong) that you can use SQL*Net or Net8 to connect to SQL Server. You can do this through ODBC though.

HTH,
Brian
