Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: ODBC problem
Thanx Andy for replying my question..Can you please check for me the following entry in tnsnames.ora
Thanks in Advance...
TCPEXAMPLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.gun2000)
)
)
I got this work in the sqlplus. But just wonder why it couldn't work in the ODBC program.
Below is the scenario.
I had two hard disk. One is 15G quantum lm and another 4.3G western digital.
I am using the 15G quantum as the main disk to run the OS. Because of the
motherboard limitation(TX Pro II), the motherboard only can detect it as a
8G hard disk. I went to download a program called Quantum Manager so that
the hard disk could be fully utilize. I had 4 partition on the 15G hard
disk. The C: is for Win98, D: is for the 4G hard disk(win 95), E: for
backup, F for backup and G: is for Win 2000.
I had Oracle 8.0.6 installed in the 4G drive. When i bought the new hard disk(15G), I never format the old drive. I had my win2000 running in the G:. Then I installed the Oracle 8.1.6 in the G:, which is in Win2000 OS, after go through the setup, I configured the net8 listener and service name. Then I try to check the database using sql plus, it works. Then I configured the ODBC, it could work.
I had been debugging this problem for few weeks. I really hope that someone could help me on this.
Could u tell me what name should i use for the data source, service name? Is my tnsnames.ora entry correct? Should I include the SID inside the file?
Kindly regards,
gun
