Re: TRYING TO CONNECT

Hmmm, you got me there. I just installed 8iPE when I wanted to learn Pl/SQL and the run SQL*PLUS 8 and it connects right away to the database - I didn't have to do anything. The way I see it, when I installed 8i and it created the database, the SQL*PLUS is native to the database and thus just connect into it right away. With the development, cause it's a tool and need to access the database that was not created by itself but by 8I, it needs to have a listener running on the 8i's Database to let it connects into it.

Ooo, hehe, remember - I was using the SQL*plus that came with the installation of 8i - NOT the SQL*plus that came with the installation of Development.
