Re: Error ORA-03121 with Oracle 8.0.4

Thanks for your posts but here is more details for problem I have. On my NT Workstation (SP5):

1/
I install Oracle client 8.0.4.
2 /
I lauch net 8 easy config and I configure my (service ,protocol TCP IP, @IP). When I test the service I put my user name, my password and click on the Test button. I have the message "Trying to connect", folowed by another message which is "Error while trying to retrieve text for error 0RA 00000". When I look at the Oracle documentation I read :

    ORA - 00000 normal, succesful completion     Cause: An operation has completed normally, having met no exceptions     Action: No action required.

Fine!!!

3/
I try to connect with SQL PLUS with my (user/passord_at_service) it works well.

4/
I try to connect with a client application (not an oracle application) and I have the error "Unable to connect to server. Error while trying to retrieve text for error 03121" and that's all It doesn't work anyway.

Note:



I ve tried to install the Oracle 8.0.4.0.7 but it's also the same way.

I know that Oracle 8.0.4 is not yet supported but Please Help ME !
