Re: Personal Oracle and clients - W95

Try using 2:orcl as the connect string (assuming you have installed the default database. Otherwise replace orcl with the instance identifier you created). The connection would then be user - scott or whatever
password - whatever
connectstring-_at_2:orcl
2: specifies that the database is local and so does not use any protocol adapter
