Re: Connection to Oracle 8 from oracle tools

What are you using for the connect string?

If you are using 2: (the two task driver) then your problem is that the Oracle 8 Server (PO8 also) doesn't support the two task driver. You'll need to set up an alias to the bequeath adapter. (copy the TNSNAMES.ORA file over to your %ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN from the samples directory and you'll have a named connection called "BEQ-LOCAL". Use that instead.

If you don't have a NETWORK\ADMIN directory, install the SQL*Net client 2.3, it'll make it for ya.

Take Care,
