Re: ORA-03121:no interface driver connected - function not performed

I tried entering Tcp-loopback as the Database name and I get a different error now...

ORA-12203 TNS:unable to connect to destination

I tried creating another database as well and called it sample, but to no avail either...

Thanks for your help anyway
