Re: Name of the default DB??

OK, if it's NT, and if it's actually been installed correctly, you'll have a service that supports the Instance. So open up Control Panel, find the Services applet, and run it, then look for something that is named vaguely like 'OracleServicexxxx' or 'OracleStartxxxxx' -the Instance name will be the xxxx bit.

same...
ORA-12154 TNS: l'adresse symbolique n'a pu etre résolue who mean something
like
symbolic address couldn't be resolved (sorry for my english..!!). Running
Oracle on NT4 server and trying to get access directly from the server...
(and
