Re: 7 client unable to connect to 9i DB

Asko,

is the SID of the 9i database > 4 characters?

I remember something about a Mac Sql*Net 2.3 client only being able to connect to a database with 4 or less characters in the SID.

Try using the backwards-compatible SID description in the listener.

hth,

Paul
