Not sure I can help, but I suspect that delphi does not support net8. The 2: referred to is a sqlnet version 1 connect string which is not supported by Oracle 8.
I would expect Personal Oracle 8 and Delphi C/S to both support sqlnet version 2. I had a similar problem to this which I solved by copying the tnsnames.ora file for <oracle home>/net8/admin to <oracle home>/network/admin Received on Wed Aug 26 1998 - 00:00:00 CDT
