[Quoted] I've installed an Oracle Database wich I named "oracle". Furthermore I added information about my professional databases at my company to my "tnsnames.ora".
I'm able to connect to those remote databases using TOAD and SQL-plus by adding ".world" to the connect string.

When I try to connect to my local database, I don't know what connect-string to use.
SQL-Plus connect without giving a connect-string but when I'm using TOAD I'm not able to connect........TOAD wants a connect string. I've used the strings ":2" and "beq-local" but none of these succeeded.

I think I have to add information about my local database to "tnsnames.ora" but don't know what.

This is the infor for the local database at this moment:

"#######################################################
# Local database
#######################################################
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )
"

Please can someone help me? Received on Sat Feb 10 2001 - 12:55:53 CET
