Hi Christopher,
Where did you get your URL string from?
Personally, I use the 'thin' driver, so in my database URL I have "thin" instead of "oci8".

By the way, as far as I know, there is no "oci8" driver type, just "oci".

The other thing I can suggest that you check is the "oralin" part of your URL. Is that the name of your oracle instance?

HTH,
