Willem Gestel <willem.gestel_at_tip.nl> skrev i artiklen <01bd05a3$ad278b60$5a4e12c3_at_csollt50>... Hello,
I have Personal Oracle 7.2 installed and want to make a connection to the ORCL database with a connect_string. Without it works fine. But when I enter a connect_string, I get:
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
This seems right, becouse I don't believe I have a listener running. How do I start the listener?
Do I need a TCP/IP anyway when I want to connect to a local database, but want to use a connect_string. I don't get it.
Please help,
Willem Gestel
