Hello,
I am trying to get a unix user (not the oracle user) to connect to a
database on the same server.
ORACLE_SID is correctly set to REPORT in the environment.
sqlplus username/password works just fine
sqlplus username/password_at_REPORT
kicks out a ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of
service requested in connect
descriptor
I dont understand why appending the SID to username/password acts differently from referencing the SID in the environment. Also I am not clear if I should set TNS_ADMIN to point to the tnsnames.ora dir of whether it is better to rely on it being in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin <sigh>
