Re: oracle for odbc error

There seems to be some confusion on which database server you use. The ODBCdriver is suitable for an Oracle Rdb database (probably on an Open VMS machine). You need a server process on the Open VMS node called SQLSERVICES  

to connect to an Rdb-database via ODBC.

From Rdb r 7.0 it is possible to make an SQLnet-connection to the Rdb-database. This also requires SQL SERVICES on VMS. SQL*Plus can work via SQL*net directly on SQL-services without the ODBC-driver for Rdb.

If you want to connect via ODBC to an Oracle 7 Server -database, you should use the Oracle7 ODBC-driver.

If you need further help, please be accurate and complete on the information on used DBMS and OS.
